The Bios Urn is a decomposable urn made from “coconut shell, compressed peat, and cellulose” which is used to encase the cremated remains of both humans and pets (Navarro). The dimensions of the Bios Urn measure at “16 x 16 x 33 cm”, have a capacity of five point eight pounds, and features a medium, which is utilized to grow trees and plants with the use of the cremated remains (Bios Urn).
