Biodegradable cremation ashes (sea) urn beige

Returned to the earth, completely and gently

Some farewells call for something that reflects the way a person lived. If the person you are saying goodbye to cared about the natural world, this cremation urn honours that. Made entirely from clay and plant-based and mineral raw materials, it is handcrafted by specialist producers whose entire focus is environmentally responsible manufacture. That is not a marketing claim. It is the foundation on which this urn is made.

Handmade from organic materials

Every part of this urn for ashes is constructed from 100% biodegradable materials of plant or mineral origin. When buried, the clay breaks down gradually over approximately three to six months, depending on soil composition and moisture levels, releasing the ashes slowly back into the earth. When placed on water, the urn dissolves fully in around seven hours. It is one of the few urns suited to both a burial in the ground and a funeral at sea.

A farewell that fits the person

The bond you shared deserves a farewell that reflects it honestly. The cream tone of this urn sits quietly in both an understated ceremony and an open natural setting. The design is plain and dignified, which is precisely how some people lived and how those closest to them wish to remember them.

GreenLeave Approved: independently verified

This urn carries the GreenLeave Approved label, awarded by Stichting GreenLeave, an independent organisation that assesses funeral products against strict sustainability criteria. The label means you are not relying on a manufacturer's own claims. An external body has reviewed and confirmed them. If you want to be certain that a product is as sustainable as it appears, this certification gives you that assurance directly.

Simple to seal, no tools needed

The urn is supplied with a biodegradable ash bag and a matching adhesive strip. The strip looks like a small ribbon. Dampen it, lay it along the rim of the urn, and press the lid into place. The adhesive bonds as it sets, sealing the urn firmly. Nothing else is required, which means you can give your full attention to what matters most on the day.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use

This funeral urn is suited to both indoor and outdoor settings. Because it is made from natural clay, prolonged exposure to rain or condensation will begin to affect the material over time. For a temporary position outdoors it performs well; if you plan to keep it outside for an extended period, a sheltered spot is advisable.

Burial regulations and sea funerals

The rules governing the burial of ashes or the casting of an urn at sea vary between local authorities and individual sites. It is worth checking the specific requirements with your chosen cemetery or funeral director before the day. Sea funerals are also subject to distance regulations from the coastline. Your funeral director will be able to advise you on both.
