Paper-maché coffins for pets

This is a nice idea - biodegradable pet coffins with tree seeds inside by Arthur Trichelieu. They look nice, but will the seeds germinate if they're too deep? Cardboard boxes always worked for me, or a shroud made from an old cotton towel or woollen blanket - man-made fibres take a very long time to rot - then a tree seedling planted on top. Half the trees and shrubs in my back garden were planted over a pet's grave. I've started getting them cremated because I'm running out of space.
