Biodegradable cube urn for water or ground burial

A natural farewell through water or ground burial

This handmade biodegradable cube urn made from mulberry paper is suitable for either water or ground burial. It is supplied as standard with an ivory-coloured silk bag for the ashes, presented inside a cotton storage bag, so the ashes remain carefully contained until the time of the farewell.

Handmade from mulberry paper

The paper is made from fibres obtained from the bark of the mulberry tree. The tree does not need to be felled: the bark regenerates after harvesting. The fibres are made into paper pulp, formed by hand and dried in the sun.

Because the urn is handmade, there may be small variations in texture, colour and finish. These natural differences give every cube urn its own character.

• 100% biodegradable - designed to break down through natural processes.
• For water or ground burial - suitable for water or ground burial.
• Renewable raw material - made from mulberry bark that regenerates after harvesting.
• Handmade - subtle variations make every urn unique.
• Sun-dried - part of the traditional production process.
• SMETA 4-Pillar audited production - the production site is assessed in areas including labour standards, environment and business ethics.

100% biodegradable and made from natural plant fibres

What happens when the urn is placed in water?

Once placed in the water, the urn sinks almost immediately. On the bed of the water, the mulberry paper continues to absorb moisture and the natural paper fibres gradually break down.

Suitable for ground burial

The urn can also be buried in the ground. The biodegradable mulberry paper is gradually broken down by natural processes. Depending on soil conditions and moisture levels, this can take from several months to around a year.

The cube as a symbol of balance and stability

With its equal sides, the cube can represent balance, stability and simplicity. Combining this clear form with natural mulberry paper gives the urn an understated, contemporary appearance without unnecessary decoration.

Choose this cube urn when a natural farewell in water or in the ground, combined with a calm geometric design, feels appropriate for your loved one.
