Capsula Mundi - Burial Pods

The Capsula Mundi project ran by Italian designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel is an alternate way to be buried. They created “seeds” or burial pods that will hold a deceased human body for burial. The body is in the fetal position within the “seed” and then is buried. A tree is planted over the “seed” and will gather nutrients from it and grow. The best thing about these types of burials is that your loved ones can visit a field of trees instead of a dreary cemetery. Check out the video above for more details!
