Project designers, Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel have constructed a biodegradable, organic capsule as an alternative to a coffin called, “The Capsula Mundi.” The purpose of the project is a conceptually and physically beautiful one; it is to reunite the deceased body back with nature and life. After the deceased is buried in a fetal position inside the pod, a tree seed or tree will be planted above the capsule. Within time the body’s nutrients will nurture the ground, causing a tree to grow from the remains.
Instead of harming the environment by chopping down trees for wooden coffins and burying them, the project’s aim is to promote green cemeteries adorned with trees, you can chose. Originally conceived in Italy, the project is a working theory at the moment because Italian law forbids this type of burial. The goal is to comfort loved ones with a majestic body of nature they can visit. “A cemetery will no longer be full of tombstones and will become a sacred forest.”
View the process below.
The client will choose the tree.
The deceased person will be buried in a fetal position inside the pod.
Their bodies will transform into nutrients for a tree to grow.
Also there is the potential for the spirit of the vengeful dead to inhabit the tree, turning it into a nightmarish horror bent on devouring all things.
Okay so we have this rusty old thing in our one flower bed that would make an awful noise when you turned it and Buck Buck absolutely hated the sound of it, freaking out every time, wanting to somehow fight it??? Anyway, I haven’t turned the Sphere of Rage for several years now and figured I’d see if it can still work its great and terrible magic.
Oh My God

Why is it that when I’m supposed to be awake and I’m sad I want to sleep but I can’t cause I have to be awake but when it’s time to sleep and I’m sad I can’t sleep at all
Holla. Let’s have a depression party aka lie here and stare at the ceiling until we eventually fall asleep or the sun comes up and we have to get up anyway
I tried to think of something witty to reply with, but I’m really beyond the point of even having the energy to make jokes
