This will not work in the long run because many villages and cities have limited space for graveyards. It's common many places today to reuse graves after like 20 years or so. It will be too cumbersome to cut down a tree and remove a rot before a new burial can be prepared. Because of the limited space for graveyards in a world of rapid population growth, cremation may be the best.

okay, maybe this idea is not best for high-resuse cemeteries. i think it still has plenty of uses in other scenarios, like places where space is more plentiful and for the homeowner who wants to bury a loved one on their property. where legally permitted, of course.

seems like cremation has some issues as well-- it uses a lot of energy to turn the body (particularly the bones) in to ashes, it fails to return nutrients back to the earth, and it creates toxic air particles... not to mention some greenhouse gases.

From there, a tree is planted above it, allowing its roots to soak nutrients and grow.
