I like and hate this idea.

Have you seen this? I just stumbled onto it and have a lot of thoughts racing through my head.
Could you imagine stumping one of these trees? Or if one toppled in a windstorm? It's a cool idea, but there are a lot of problems. The "graves" would have to be really spread apart for the trees to have space. The bodies would do better for the tree if they were spread out thin up near the surface.... I don't know I could go on.

Yeah, what if your uncle's head popped out of a cavity in the tree? Yikes!

Strange. Very interesting idea though.

 

[Leroy]

Weird

 

[John_KAYS]

Yeah, you see how shallow the grave would be...that is, if the tree was planted correctly. The head would maybe be about a foot from the surface.

 

[Leroy]

No muy bueno. Not deep enough for me!
