10 Tree of Life Urns to Store the Ashes of Your Beloved
Updated January 26, 2023.
Trees have always held a centerpiece in world cultures. One central symbol, the Tree of Life, appears in ancient artistry across almost every corner of the globe. But what exactly does the tree of life represent?
If you observe the tree of life symbol, you’ll see the way the deep roots fan out in all directions, while the branches reach skyward in the same pattern. This symbolizes the way all living beings are connected to both Mother Earth and the Universe. While our physical bodies need the Earth to nourish us, our souls originate from the Universe and will return to it once our bodies perish.

FAQs
What does the tree of life symbolize?
The tree of life has many branches of symbolism that have developed and grown over time, but its main symbolic meaning is that it represents connection and unity.
Do leaves on an urn have spiritual significance?
They certainly do! The leaf goes through this continuous cycle, and its ending is already determined as soon as it begins, yet this doesn't stop the leaf from doing what it's meant to do. Thus, the spiritual meaning of leaves includes growth, fertility, nature, and the cyclical nature of life.
Can you mix the ashes of your loved ones?
Yes, you can! Mixing two people's ashes is also known as “commingling," and this practice allows for the ashes of two individuals obtained after cremation to be "mingled" together in an urn so that they can remain together for eternity.
