How to turn into a tree after you die

What if you plant the tree in your back yard, and it dies, or don't make it for what ever reason?

Would that not be distressing to the surviving family members even more and re-awaken the pain of loosing someone all over again?

Then you could cremate the tree and use it's ashes to grow another

We planted a tree (from seed) when each of our kids were born. Being the superstitious, symbol creating species that we are it was a little stressful for the first year or so in case the trees didn't make it and so foretold our childrens fate.

Yeah, this is awful. Someone forgets to water the sapling, deer chews on it, etc, etc... BAM! You've just killed dad again.

If a deer eats your dad-tree, dad-tree becomes dad-tree-deer.

That's a good point, you should use Soil IQ [1] to make sure that doesn't happen.
