How Bios Incube Turns Departed Loved One’s Ashes Into Trees [WATCH]

We all know there's no narrow escape to death. But, instead of securing your departed loved one's ashes in an urn, there one other way in which we can give them another life in the form of a tree.

The Bios Incube, developed by the company Bios Urn, is a biodegradable urn that enables people to grow a tree from the ashes of their loved one's remains.

"When someone dies, they physically die, but the people who are around the deceased person still remember," said Roger Moliné, co-founder of Bios Urn.

The cylindrical shaped plant pot, Bios Incube, measures 2.5 feet (76 centimeters) tall and about 1 foot (33 cm) in diameter. The device is equipped with a built-in self-watering system that is triggered by a sensor device attached to the surface of the soil. The Incube holds about 3 gallons of water which automatically gets released through a valve when needed.

The sensor keeps a check on moisture content and temperature in the atmosphere and soil. It also monitors environmental conditions, such as sunlight exposure, temperature and humidity.

Users can monitor the progress of the plant's growth using a smartphone app after the urn is buried in the soil-filled smart incubator. The app allows users to remotely check on their tree, while providing them with advice for optimum maintenance.

Once the tree is large enough to be plant outdoors, it can be removed from the incubator and planted in a desired location, and then the Incube can be used to grow another plant or tree.

The Bios Incube team claims that the urn will change the way people think about death by "converting the end of life into a transformation and a return to life through nature."

The Kickstarter campaign for Bios Incube raised more than $83,000, about $15,000 over their goal of $68,000. The device is expected to ship out to crowdfunding campaign backers in November, with commercial availability expected in March 2017.
