Biodegradable urn for water burial at sea (or other body of water) white

A final journey on the water

If water is where your loved one is to rest, that moment deserves an urn made specifically for it. Not in a symbolic sense, but a practical one: designed to be released onto the water in a way that gives everyone present something to hold on to.

How this urn behaves on the water

This biodegradable cremation urn floats upright once placed on the surface, much like a buoy. From the base, the ashes disperse gradually across the water within a few minutes. The upper section remains visible above the surface throughout, so you can follow the moment and say goodbye at your own pace. That visible rhythm, a clear beginning and a gentle close, is what makes a water burial feel like a true farewell rather than simply a release.

Fully biodegradable, nothing left behind

The urn is made entirely from biodegradable material and dissolves without releasing harmful substances into the water. For those whose loved one had a deep connection to the natural world, or for families who want the farewell itself to reflect that same care, this matters. The material meets environmental requirements for burial at sea and leaves the water as it was found.

Carried safely to the right place

Every urn for ashes is supplied with a handmade bamboo holder. It protects the urn during transport and allows you to carry it with you, whether you are heading to a harbor, a jetty or open water, and keep it intact until you are ready. The bamboo holder is not an afterthought: it is part of arriving at that place with the care the moment deserves.

Keeping the urn safe before the burial

Biodegradable materials are sensitive to moisture before use. Store the urn inside its bamboo holder in a dry indoor location until you set out for the burial site. Do not leave it exposed to rain or damp conditions beforehand. Keeping it dry until the moment of release ensures the material performs exactly as it should when it matters most.

What this place means

Water carries different meanings for different people. For some it represents movement and transition; for others it is simply the place they associate most with the person they have lost. The stretch of coast where your loved one felt at home, the river you walked together, the harbor they returned to year after year. That specific connection is what makes a water burial feel right. This cremation urn is designed to honor it: floating steadily, visible to those who are watching, and fully present until the very end.
