Biodegradable Sea Urn for Ash Scattering on Water - dark blue

Returning to the sea, in a way that feels right

If the sea held meaning for the person you've lost, a farewell on the water deserves an urn that belongs there. This dark blue biodegradable sea urn is made to float, sink and dissolve completely, leaving nothing behind.

Handmade from mulberry bark and Ixora blossom

The urn is made from the bark of the mulberry tree. The bark is carefully harvested by hand, and the tree grows new bark naturally, so no trees are felled in the process. The harvested bark is cooked into a soft pulp, combined with flowers from the Ixora plant, and spread by hand across special frames to dry in the sun. Banana tree fibres are worked into the surface, giving the urn its natural, slightly textured appearance. There is no factory process and no harmful substances involved at any stage. This kind of handcraft takes patience and precision, and you can see that in every piece.

How the urn behaves on the water

Once placed on the water, the urn floats briefly at the surface before sinking in a calm, unhurried way. Within a few days it breaks down completely through natural biological processes, returning the ashes to the water and to the natural world your loved one felt connected to. The deep blue of this urn reflects that element directly, making it a considered choice rather than an incidental one.

What you should know before you choose

Practical clarity matters when you are making a decision like this. Here is what to expect from this cremation urn in use.

Biodegradability and water behaviour

Because this urn for ashes is made entirely from plant-based materials, it is designed exclusively for outdoor use on open water. It is not resistant to prolonged moisture before the ceremony, so keep it in a dry place until the day of the farewell. Once in the water, it breaks down fully and naturally, leaving no chemical residue of any kind.

Ethical production, verifiably

Production follows the SMETA 4-Pillar standard, which covers working conditions, environmental practice and business integrity. Choosing this urn is a considered decision for the natural world, and also for the people who make it. No deforestation is involved, the production process uses no harmful substances, and the materials are renewable at every stage.
