A company that makes a strange way to bury a lost loved one can help you stay with them

A company in Spain has presented a new way of growing plants - using the dead person's ashes in the hope that customers can " stay " with their loved ones who are lost anytime and anywhere.

This idea, called Bios Incube, was developed by a Barcelona company famous for its Bio Urn product. Products based on this idea were launched on Kickstarter last month and have received a lot of attention.

Bio Incube is advertised as the "first incubator for the first life in the world " and is designed to resemble biodegradable remains of the same name of the company.

Bios Urn, launched in 2013, is a burial chamber with seeds , which in theory will later grow into a large tree. The Bios Incube reproduces and controls the same process in a container capable of automatically watering plants.

The sensor in the container monitors the soil temperature, humidity and conductivity. All information is transferred to an application on the smartphone . The application also warns the user when the water tank of the incubator needs to be refilled, or when the ambient temperature is too hot or too cold.

Urn Bios has the ability to automatically water plants and is monitored by smartphones.

According to Roger Moline, co-founder of Bios Urn, the company's purpose is to help people feel closer to those who have died. " When you lose someone, there is a time when the person is still with you, because you still miss that person and you can't get everything out of your mind " Moline, product designer , Bios founder said: " So what's more amazing is that you can have a living creature that grows from the rest of a deceased person - this is really great or even very humane. , in a certain way ".

Moline says the container is designed for people who do not have a yard to plant an external ashes, or simply want a more flexible way to get close to their loved ones. He added that the Bios Incube is almost self-sustaining, just pumping out the water tank periodically to reduce the risk of causing tree death - something that could be particularly serious for those still in mourning. . The seeds that come with the container will only grow within the range of the vase, but if desired, the grower can still transfer the plants to another place.

Bios Incube is the latest product in a range of technology products with the aim of reducing - or at least changing - the process of experiencing pain of losing loved ones. An application called Your Last Will allows users to send messages through videos that can be viewed by relatives and friends after death, and some companies have developed QR codes of tombstones linking to pages. Online memorial. Celestis company even gave a more daring idea to send the remains of a person into space.
