Many people today select biodegradable urns as part of their pre-funeral arrangements so that they can help their friends and loved ones move through the grieving process a little easier. When someone we are close to dies it can be very difficult to remember all of the details that must be taken care of to assure a proper and beautiful ceremony for urn burial. When the choice of urn has been made for family and friends, they are relieved of the added pressure to assure their loved one resides where they truly wished. And, they are given an opportunity to share one last request with their loved one.
For an environmentally conscious individual there is no greater statement or remembrance than to have one’s cremains disposed of naturally. Whether by scattering, burial at sea, or burial on land, the urn that we select must be one that will not leave a carbon imprint on the earth. The memory of our life should be one of giving to the earth, not taking from it. And, this last gift to earth is our way of acknowledging our gratefulness and respect to both the life we lived and the earth we cared for throughout our life.
One type of biodegradable urn that is growing in popularity is a beautiful artistically designed urn made of unfired clay that is painted with an environmentally friendly, non-toxic paint. These urns come in many shapes, designs and colors and are so unique that they will be a beautiful addition in your home. In addition, these urns are completely water soluble and will dissolve when used for an at-sea burial or dissolve naturally when buried in land within two to three months depending on the climate. These urns can be designed to replicate very expensive porcelain or bronze and will fit in a permanent memorial in your home or provide a beautiful and lasting picture of the burial ceremony.
Another type of biodegradable urn that is still a standard for many environmentally conscious individuals is the classic Earth urn which is fabricated from recycled paper. These urns also are available in any shape, design or size that you may need or desire. These cremation urns are handcrafted and will not begin to break down until they are buried in the earth. They are made to withstand the rigors of travel and are perfect for scattering or burying ashes from regions where hiking is involved.
