Environment-conscious mourners or family members prefer cremation because this is safer for the environment. They also opt to use biodegradable urns for the ashes of their departed loved ones. While some use biodegradable urns to display at home, others choose to scatter the ashes of their loved ones and have the urn decomposed over time. A few don’t scatter the ashes but choose to bury them along with the urn.
They believe that the remains of the deceased should return to nature. This makes biodegradable urns an excellent cremation urn for people who care deeply about the environment.
Biodegradable urns, also known as eco-urns, are 100% made of natural materials and, therefore, are very safe. There are also different types of these kinds of urns, and you can always choose which one you prefer best. As mentioned earlier, there are biodegradable urns for home display, and there are also urns for land burial. Interestingly, sea burial eco-urns also exist.
1. Home Display Biodegradable Urn
Home display urns can usually be made of wood or clay. This way, they can last longer but are still natural and will still decompose over time. One example of this is the Roman Treasure Clay Cremation Ashes Urn.
From the name itself, this unique and special urn is largely made of clay. It is finished in a lovely textured bronze with a traditional gold rope, reminiscent of Roman craftsmanship. This is a beautiful home display as it is distinct and inspired by Roman design.
2. Land Burial Biodegradable Urn
Land burial eco-urns can be made of wood/bamboo, sustainable paper, biodegradable thermoplastic material called Arboform, and other bio-organic materials. These urns start to decompose as soon as lowered into the ground. They decompose completely within one to three months. Most of the land burial eco-urns can also function as sea burial eco-urns. One interesting biodegradable urn to bury is this Mansfield Cremation Ashes Urn Rose Medley Adult.
The lovely rose pattern on its front, often seen in funerary art, symbolises eternal love and devotion.
3. Sea Burial Biodegradable Urn
There are so many unique sea burial urns. They are usually made of sustainable paper, wood/bamboo, and sand, among other bio-organic materials. Examples of these urns are the Himalayan Salt Cremation Ashes Urn – Saltash, Serenity Water Burial Pillow Urn Footprints, and Eco Water Urn - The Living Urn Range.
The Himalayan Salt eco-urn is so unique as, from its name, it’s made of Himalayan rock salt. Its vivid pink hue makes it a gorgeous piece. Once this urn is immersed in water, it will dissolve within four hours.
The Serenity Water Burial Pillow Urn Footprints are also very interesting. They are 100% made of sustainable paper and organic inks. Once placed in water, this urn floats briefly before gracefully sinking to the waterbed. It will then break down over a few hours until ultimately becoming one with nature.
One last special sea burial eco-urn is the Eco Water Urn - The Living Urn Range. This is made of paper and is paired with a protective bamboo cylinder case to avoid being damaged before coming into contact with water. This urn floats upright like a buoy. The unique proprietary design of this biodegradable urn disperses your loved one’s remains out of the bottom of the urn while floating and within a few minutes.
