An intelligent system for eco-burial and method thereof

Abstract

The burial box system (100) disclosed herein provides an innovative and eco-conscious approach to the interment of deceased individuals. The multi-layered compressible box is designed to facilitate a sustainable and regenerative burial process. It consists of layers accommodating the deceased body (108), nutrient-rich soil (104), and seeds that, when combined with the natural decomposition of the body, foster the growth of vegetation. The system employs one or more springs to control the compression of the burial layers, optimizing the decomposition timeline. An AI-enabled button (106) monitors the decomposition process and sends alerts at the final compressible stage. An actuator (110), responsive to the compression of the burial layers, establishes a connection between a battery and a sensor for alert activation. This burial box system (100) promotes ecological balance, while also providing a means of tracking and signaling the completion of the decomposition process, contributing to sustainable and eco-friendly memorialization practices.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] . The invention relates to the field of environmentally responsible and sustainable burial practices and specifically to an intelligent eco-burial system and method thereof.BACKGROUND

[0002] . Traditional burial methods often involve the use of non-biodegradable materials and chemicals, leading to environmental concerns and resource depletion. In response to these challenges, there has been an increasing interest in more sustainable and eco-friendly burial practices. The disclosed burial box system represents a novel approach to addressing these concerns by introducing a multi-layered, compressible box designed to support the natural decomposition of the deceased body while promoting regenerative processes.

[0003] . This innovative burial system incorporates layers that serve specific purposes: a layer for the deceased body, a layer containing nutrient-rich soil, and a layer with seeds to encourage the growth of vegetation. The controlled compression facilitated by the system's springs regulates the decomposition rate, optimizing the process for ecological balance and vegetation growth.

[0004] . Moreover, the integration of an Al-enabled button within the burial box provides real-time monitoring of the decomposition process and signals the final compressible stage. An actuator, responsive to the compression within thelayers, connects a sensor to a battery, enabling alerts upon reaching the desired compression level. This technological integration contributes to a more informed and efficient burial process.

[0005] . The burial box system is not only aimed at mitigating the environmental impact of traditional burial methods but also at establishing a sustainable and regenerative approach to the memorialization of the deceased. This innovative system is envisioned to offer a harmonious coexistence between human remains and the environment, fostering ecological balance and serving as a beacon for eco-conscious burial practices.SUMMARY
