Deep Water Biodegradable Cremation Urn – Pearl Shell

Pearl Deep Water Shell Biodegradable Urn This urn is hand-made and hand-painted by skilled artisans with earth-friendly materials that will naturally biodegrade in ocean or lake water. The urn is painted a pearl and tan color to resemble a real shell found in the ocean. The vessel has an overall capacity of 400 cubic inches which means it can hold the ashes of a loved one that had a healthy weight of 400 lbs or less prior to passing. Due to the size, this urn can be used for one individual or a companion sharing urn. Included with the shell urn is a TSA-compliant carrying case for “in-cabin” airline transportation and a water-soluble biodegradable bag.  The shell urn has an opening on the back side of the urn that can be opened to put the cremains inside the vessel. One important note to make is that the cremains should never be poured directly into the shell, rather they should be placed inside the provided water-soluble bag and the bag with cremains placed inside the urn. If the shell is planned for cremains of two or more loved ones, additional water-soluble bags should be purchased. How This Urn WorksThe bio shell urn is specifically designed for water burial. On the front and back side of the urn are many small holes that will allow water to slowly fill the urn as it is placed on the water. Once set on the water, it will float for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, dependent on the calmness of the water. As water flows in the urn, the water-soluble bag will begin to dissolve and the cremains will disperse in the water in the shell. The shell will then begin a gently descent to the bottom of the lake or ocean floor. It will then continue to biodegrade until completely dispersed in the water. Biodegradable Water BurialWhile many choose to have a standard land memorial or funeral celebration, water burial is a unique experience for all involved. Each ceremony can be customized to fit the needs and wishes of your family. Account for the special planning required, we ha
