Biodegradable urn for human ashes

A Natural Final Resting Place: Choosing a Biodegradable Urn

As we become more aware of our environmental impact, many people are seeking ways to reduce their ecological footprint, even after life. For those who choose cremation, biodegradable urns for human ashes offer an eco-friendly option that honors both the life of the deceased and nature itself.

What Is a Biodegradable Urn?

Unlike traditional urns made of metal, ceramic, or marble, biodegradable urns are crafted from natural and sustainable materials. They are designed to decompose over time, whether in water or in soil, leaving no trace of pollution.

The Advantages of a Biodegradable Urn

• Eco-friendly: Made from natural materials like recycled paper, cornstarch, salt, sand, or peat, these urns decompose naturally.
• A Symbolic Gesture: Choosing a biodegradable urn is a poignant way to pay tribute to a loved one. It’s a return to nature that can bring great serenity.
• Versatility: Whether you wish to scatter ashes at sea, bury them in a garden, or plant a tree in their memory, there is a biodegradable urn suited for every purpose.

The Different Types of Biodegradable Urns

There is a wide range of biodegradable urns, each designed for a specific purpose:

• Burial Urns: Designed to be buried, these urns gradually decompose in the soil. Some even feature a unique system where the ashes nourish the growth of a young tree or green plant, offering a beautiful, living memorial.
• Water Urns: Made from soluble materials like salt or sand, these urns are designed to gently dissolve in water.
• Scattering Urns: Often made from recycled cardboard, they allow for easy scattering of ashes while being recyclable themselves.

How to Choose the Right Urn Size

Choosing the right urn size is crucial to ensure all the ashes can be placed comfortably. An urn’s capacity is directly related to the deceased’s body weight. The exact ratio is approximately 0.35 liters of capacity for every 10 kg of body weight. For example, for a person weighing 80 kg, an urn of about 2.8 liters will be needed. For ease of use, we recommend choosing a slightly larger capacity.
