Coral Shell Deep Water Biodegradable Urn This unique urn is fabricated from recycled and earth-friendly materials that naturally biodegrade when placed in water. The urn is in the shape of a seashell and is hand-painted a vibrant coral color. This vessel is designed to hold a total of 400 cubic inches which means it can hold the cremains of a loved one or loved one(s) with a combined healthy weight of 400 lbs prior to passing. Included with this urn is one water-soluble biodegradable cremation ash bag that needs to be used to hold the ashes inside the shell. If you are using this vessel for more than one set of cremains and want to keep them separate until your ceremony, an additional biodegradable bag should be purchased. This urn is filled through a small opening on the back side of the urn. The cremains bag will be placed through this hole and the urn sealed back up. The shell is equipped with many small holes to allow water to begin filling the urn when placed in water. Once water has begun to fill the urn, the water-soluble cremains bag will begin to dissolve and ashes will disperse in the water within the shell. The shell is engineered to float for approximately three to five minutes before descending gracefully. Calm water conditions will allow the urn to float longer than rough or choppy waters. Preparing For A Water Burial CeremonyPlanning the perfect water burial ceremony comes with challenges but is very rewarding and special. There are several considerations that must be made in planning a funeral of this type and we have made an article with helpful advice for burials at sea as well as the best tips for scattering ashes at sea. If you are traveling afar and need to fly with your shell urn to your destination, this urn is TSA-compliant when carried in the provided case for in-cabin airline transportation.
