  • Publication number: 20110225884
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for the formation of biodegradable memorials. The present invention provides memorial devices that are biodegradable in natural environmental conditions and configured to provide and sustain plant life. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides a biodegradable memorial configured for plant growth. The memorial device includes a substantially solid core growth medium capable of sustaining plant growth. The substantially solid core growth medium includes a first binder for maintaining a shape of the growth medium. The memorial further includes a first layer disposed over the growth medium, the first layer comprises a first mixture including seeds. The memorial further includes a second layer disposed substantially over the entirety of the growth medium and substantially solid core, the second layer comprises a biodegradable material configured to erode at a first rate to expose the first layer.
