Spanish design firm Estudi Moliné has found a way to breathe new life into the ashes of loved ones with the Bios Urn, a biodegradable urn that grows into a tree.

The team, headed by brothers Roger and Gerard Moliné, have now successfully crowdfunded a second prototype -- the Bios Incube -- a temperature-controlled incubator that tracks and monitors the growth of your tree in any environment. Since the Bios Incube has wifi connectivity, users can check out all the information on the accompanying mobile app.
