If you want to be a tree, go cremation. Trees get their carbon from the air not the soil.
Thats just carbon though. Surely the nutrients in the ground are equally important.
I thought cremains would be worse for the tree.
They are. I researched it because my mother wanted to grow a lemon tree from her cremains. Human ashes are too acidic for most plants to grow in unless you mix them with soil or compost. Which doesn't seem at all respectful.
I believe they are mostly not even ashes, just ground up bone fragments
