What Capsula Mundi envisions is a greener Earth where humans can find solace for their lost loved ones amidst dense forests, filled with the stories, trees, and memories of others.

“Only a tree, a symbol of the connection between the sky and the earth, will mark the resting place of the deceased. As tree after tree is planted, the cemetery will become a forest, […] a place of nature, […] In short, it will become a sacred forest.”

What do you think about Capsula Mundi’s project? Is this a beautiful and poetic return to nature that ensures a greener future for the planet, or some strange sacrilege from sci-fi? I could definitely get down with this idea. After all, the most beautiful graveyards are usually filled with natural beauty.
