Biodegradable Sea Urn for Ash Scattering on Water

Returning to the water, in the way that feels right

When a farewell takes place at sea, every detail matters. The moment, the setting, and the urn itself. This biodegradable sea urn is made for exactly that: a dignified, natural scattering of ashes on the water, with no cost to the environment.

Handcrafted from mulberry bark and banana leaf fibres

The urn is made by hand from the bark of the mulberry tree. The bark is carefully harvested without felling the tree, so no trees are cut down in the process. New bark grows back naturally, making this a genuinely renewable material. The bark is cooked into a soft pulp, combined with flowers from the Ixora plant and fibres from banana leaves, then spread by hand onto frames and dried in the sun. No chemicals, no synthetic additives. The result is a cremation urn that is as considered in its making as it is in its purpose.

How the urn behaves on the water

Once placed on the surface, the urn floats briefly before sinking gently to the seabed in a composed and unhurried way. Within a few days, the material breaks down completely and naturally. The ashes return to the water and the wider natural world, precisely as you intended.

A choice that holds up practically as well as emotionally

A farewell at sea calls for confidence in every aspect, including how and where the urn was made. Production of this urn meets the SMETA 4-Pillar standard, a certification that covers fair working conditions, environmental protection, business integrity, and health and safety. You know exactly the conditions under which it was produced.

A return to nature that fits the bond you shared

If the person you are saying goodbye to had a love of the sea, found peace near water, or simply lived with a care for the natural world, this farewell is not a compromise. It is a choice that fits. The urn's white colour keeps the moment clear and still. What holds your attention is the water, the occasion, and the memory you carry with you.

Outdoor use and practical care

This urn for ashes is designed solely for outdoor use, specifically for scattering on water. Because the material is fully biodegradable, it responds to moisture. Until the moment of use, keep it in a dry place so the structure stays intact. It is not suitable for indoor display or long-term storage in damp conditions.

If you are unsure whether this is the right choice for the farewell you have in mind, we are happy to talk it through with you at whatever pace suits.
