There exist, however, more imaginative methods, all of which are quite possible! All of the possibilities listed below also require cremation, and are simply different possibilities of commemorating the ashes.
The Biodegradable Urn.
Created by the company Urna
Bios, this system uses your ashes to nourish a tree seed, which is all packaged in a
biodegradable container, making it possible to “become” a tree.

The “Memorial Reef.”
Provided by the
Neptune Society, this method gives you the possibility of placing the ashes in a cement-based
reef starter, which not only creates an entirely new ecosystem, and is also a
memorable way of being buried. Though you can order a cement-ash sculpture, it is also possible for you to participate in the creation of the cement-ash sculpture. The "planting" of the sculpture into the sea can also be a form of ceremony for your loved one.

LifeGems
This another way to remember your loved ones. These are gems in which the ashes (or lock of
hair) from the deceased are compressed into a gem that can be formed into
jewelry as a keepsake of the loved one.
There also exists the option of
compressing a loved one’s ashes into a Vinyl record, which could, ideally, play
their “theme music” and could be a reminder of that person. These alternative
burial methods go to show how there exist many possibilities to choose when
deciding on a burial method.
