Biodegradable Sea Urn with Floral Design

A final journey on the water, as nature intended

If you are planning a sea burial, you want it to feel right. Not symbolic on paper, but real: an urn that settles into the water, sinks gently, and returns to the natural world completely. This biodegradable sea urn with floral design makes that possible, crafted honestly and with care.

Hand-formed from mulberry bark

No trees are felled to make this cremation urn. The paper it is formed from comes from the bark of the mulberry tree, which is carefully harvested in a way that allows new bark to grow back naturally. That renewable raw material can be used again and again. The bark is cooked down into a soft pulp, and flowers from the Ixora plant are added to the mixture. These flowers are not applied afterwards; they are part of the material itself. The pulp is then hand-spread onto wooden frames and dried in the sun, without chemicals or harmful substances. Each piece takes patience and precision, and that shows in the texture and the quiet floral pattern of the finished urn.

The Ixora flower and its meaning

The Ixora plant grows in warm, humid climates and is known for its vivid, resilient blossom. The fact that these flowers are literally woven into the paper of this urn gives a sea farewell a particular layer of meaning: the bond you shared with the person you have lost returns to nature alongside them. If you would like, you can place a handwritten letter or dried flowers inside, carrying the same quiet symbolism.

What you can know about how this urn is made

The production process behind this urn for ashes has been independently verified at every stage.

• Hand-formed from mulberry bark using a centuries-old papermaking process
• Ixora flowers integrated into the pulp, not applied to the surface
• Sun-dried without chemicals or harmful substances
• Certified under SMETA 4-Pillar ethical trade standards, covering environment, integrity and working conditions

100% environmentally friendly, 100% biodegradable

How the urn behaves in the water

Once placed in the sea, this cremation urn floats briefly on the surface before sinking in a composed, unhurried way. Within a few days it breaks down completely through natural processes. The organic paper fibres dissolve in salt water without leaving harmful residue, and there is nothing that will drift or cause environmental concern. If you would prefer a smaller version, one is available.

A choice that fits the person you have lost

If you are looking for a farewell that leaves no damage behind, that has been made honestly, and that connects the person you loved directly to the natural world, this urn speaks to that. Take the time you need to decide whether it is right.
