My wife said it has an ass.
I'm thinking about pruning it.

Instead of keeping a departed loved one's ashes in an urn over the fireplace, why not breathe new life into them, in the form of a tree that can sit in your living room or outside on your porch? A new gadget helps you nurture life from ashes, and regardless of how green your thumbs are, it offers a way to keep loved ones close after they die.
The Bios Incube, created by the company Bios Urn, is an incubator that monitors and cultivates trees from human ashes in people's homes. The company says the invention allows people to return the deceased to life through nature, creating a living reminder of that person.
"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.

Looks like they already did it to Algore.
Yea, whatever.
Oh heck. Why not just ‘em stuffed.
Couldn’t you just dump the ashes in the garden to get the same affect?
Not for me. On the other hand, it’s never made sense to me to spend several thousand dollars on a box to bury someone’s body in, either.
just get a Madame Tussaud waxworks like Hillary Clinton....
Yeah, and when the tree dies, you get to mourn all over again.
I'm thinking about pruning it.
I’ve decided when I get old I’m not going to bother with dying, it’s too expensive for things like a pine box etc.
Reminds me of a Twilight Zone Reboot episode, “Evergreen”.
That tree is Aunt Mildred. She was just leaving. And that one is Uncle Fred. Don’t worry, his bark is worse than his bite.
As strange as this seems at first glance, is it really worse than draining all the blood from a corpse and replacing it with formaldehyde?
BTW, if you don’t want to be embalmed, look up funeral homes that do Jewish burials. Embalming is prohibited, so they refrigerate the body before burial.
The funeral homes that tell you it’s the law and you must be embalmed are lying.
What a misleading sales tactic. Their ashes will be mixed in with soil, but they won’t “turn into trees”.
Eventually, every house plant dies and suffers this fate.
Depending on the depth of your love, you could plant a fruit-bearing tree...apple, orange, peach. When you take a bite...
“Um...reminds me of Momma.”
Fortunately for Holy Smoke, his humor put the company's name out there and they have been doing a robust business ever since.
I put a deposit down on this model.
I like how they say it totally cares for itself... (because a lot of people can’t be bothered to water a plant, even a relative).
