The Capsula Mundi: Be A Tree
The Capsula Mundi concept from designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel.
The Capsula Mundi uses an egg-shaped burial pod made from biodegradable starch plastic as the coffin, in which the body is placed in a fetal position and buried under the ground. A tree (or tree seed) is then planted over the top of the pod, which will use the nutrients from the decomposing body as fertilizer for its growth.

"Capsula Mundi saves the life of a tree and proposes to plant one more. By planting different kinds of trees next to each other it creates a forest. A place where children will be able to learn alla about trees. It's also a place for a beautiful walk and a reminder of our loved ones." - Capsula Mundi
