Small Biodegradable Sea Urn for Ash Scattering on Water

Giving back to the water, the way they deserved

If water held a special place in your loved one's life, this may be the most fitting farewell you can give. This small biodegradable sea urn is made specifically for ash scattering on water, and once placed, it returns to nature completely, ashes and all.

Made from bark, not timber

Each urn is handcrafted from the bark of the mulberry tree. The bark is carefully stripped from the tree, which then continues to grow and produce new bark. No trees are felled. The harvested bark is cooked down into a soft pulp, combined with flowers from the Ixora plant, and spread by hand across wooden frames to dry in the sun. No chemicals are added. Fibres from banana leaves are incorporated into the mix, giving the finished urn its distinctive, natural texture. Because every piece is made by hand from natural materials, each one looks slightly different. That variation is part of what makes it.

What happens when the urn meets the water

When you place the urn on the surface, it floats for a short time before sinking gently to the bottom. Within a few days it breaks down completely and naturally, returning the ashes to the water, and through the water, to the earth. It is a quiet, unhurried process, and a dignified one.

A choice that holds up, long after the day

The bond you shared deserves a farewell made with the same integrity you brought to everything else. This urn for ashes carries SMETA 4-Pillar certification, meaning its production has been independently assessed across four areas: labour standards, health and safety, environmental practices, and business ethics. You know exactly what you are choosing, and why it matters.

Practical things to know before use

This cremation urn is designed solely for use on open water outdoors. It is not suitable for indoor display, long-term storage, or scattering on land. Keep it dry and sheltered until the moment you need it. Moisture will begin to affect the paper before it reaches the water, so leave it in its packaging until you are ready. Once on the water, the process takes care of itself.

The materials tell the full story of how this urn is made: mulberry bark pulp, Ixora plant flowers, and banana leaf fibres, all handmade and sun-dried, with no synthetic additions. Fully biodegradable within days of contact with water.

If you are looking for a farewell that reflects who your loved one was and what you valued together, this urn offers that honestly. If you have questions about scattering on water or would like to talk through the ordering process, we are happy to help at whatever pace suits you.
