For keeping (a portion of) the ashes

This urn is intended for keeping (a portion of) the ashes. For an adult, it is typically used to keep a portion. For a child, the urn may often be suitable for the full amount. For pets, this can also be the case, depending on the size of the animal and the amount of ashes.

100% biodegradable, made from natural materials

The ‘Celest’ is a 100% biodegradable clay urn, designed to gradually break down after being placed in the ground. On average, the urn biodegrades within approximately 3 to 6 months. The exact rate depends on soil composition and moisture levels. During this process, the ashes are released step by step, after which the materials of the urn are absorbed back into nature.

Suitable for burial and a farewell at sea

‘Celest’ urns are often used for burying ashes in the earth. This urn is also suitable for a sea farewell, where it can be gently released into the water in an environmentally friendly way. In that case, it typically takes about 7 hours for the urn to be fully absorbed, depending on conditions such as currents and water temperature.

Responsibly made by specialised makers

This biodegradable urn is produced by a specialised company fully committed to environmentally friendly production methods. This allows us to guarantee that each urn is handmade and made exclusively from raw materials of plant or mineral origin. The urn is supplied with a biodegradable ash bag, so the contents can also be placed in a respectful and sustainable way.
