I couldn't find the cost of a capsula anywhere.

Trees
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer

Trees use a lot of water.

Last Friday I was down at New Melleray Abbey, near Peosta, Iowa. There the monks make and sell simple wood caskets. They even gave me a personal one-man tour of their workshop. I was doing well during this, despite it going against my "I'm going to beat cancer" fantasy.
That is, until I got to the area where they made child and infant coffins.
There I lost it.
A lay worker who called herself "Connie Mander the Casket Sander" came over and gave me a hug. A few years ago she had the terrible privilege of helping to make her own son's casket.
I like trees, and selected a plot in our local cemetery under a tree, so I'll be doing my part I guess. But if a plain wooden box is good enough for Connie, it's good enough for me.

How does a person get into a fetal position after rigor mortis sets in?
Funeral directors would have more work playing with a dead body.
Does he curl the body for the wake or after?
Bodies would be buried every fifteen to thirty feet instead of side by side.

The definitive answer to the question, “If you were a tree, what kind would you be?”

My Granddad was a master carpenter, and walnut trees were his favorite live tree and walnut wood was his favorite wood to use his skills with.
He used to joke about buying a section of land for burial for he and his family and their families with their favorite tree planted over them.
Only a few of us thought that he was wrong.
Of course he wanted walnut tree planted over him. The only problem was his wife wanted a pecan tree over her grave site. So they would be buried apart, not how they spent their adult lives.
They loved children and family. They joked talked about
having a park with playgrounds, lakes/ a ballfield, streams in the area, and picnics areas (they loved family picnics.
Unfortunately, he died before before he got to start/implement his plan.

Somebody has been reading the “Ender” series perhaps? Inspired by the Pequeninos of Lusitania?
