Description:  A company that sells the seeds of trees, to be planted on an    
                           individual’s grave.



Idea:  


Online business that sells individually packaged seeds.

-A seed of tree that thrives in your area, packaged in a quaint but nice box/other,
 particularly a solid-wood box, to be kept by owner or loved ones and planted on
 owner’s grave.

-Buyers order seed type and packaging, business supplies both.

-Seeds shrink-wrapped, or with other type of storage, that helps ensure seed viability.

-Potentially add a fertilizer/other with product to aid in growth of seed.

-Disclaimer stating seed(s) are not guaranteed to grow into a seedling/sapling/tree.



Example(s):  

Bob wants to have the knowledge that he will join with the cycle of life in a beautiful way.  He orders a chestnut tree seed, and keeps the small attractive box on one of the shelves in his home.  At his death the seed is planted on his grave site.

Confidence:  8 (Provisional*)


Low overhead.  Low inventory.  Relatively low start-up costs.

Problem - Unknown success rate of individual seeds.  The rate may be significantly
                   low.

Solution - Each purchase comes with multiple seeds, not just one.


*Unknown whether tree seeds can be held, packaged or otherwise, for long-term,  
 with no refrigeration, before being successfully planted.



Additional Comment(s):  


This can assist in finding peace with the cycle of life and death.
