Description

Everlife offers a tree burial solution where the deceased can continue their life cycle in the form of a tree, returning to the earth in a natural way. By choosing Everlife, families can create a meaningful and lasting legacy for their loved ones, while also contributing to a healthier planet and promoting local green burial practices.

And the product uses a special biodegradable urn made from a mix of wood powder and natural binders to make a biodegradable, eco-friendly material that allows trees to grow and thrive after the urn decomposes. The urn is filled with soil and the ashes of the deceased and then planted in a designated area.

Everlife not only offers families an alternative to traditional funeral practices, but also promotes local green burial practices and environmental conservation efforts in Hong Kong.
