Description
The Passages Sand and Gelatin Urns are produced using sustainable materials to create an attractive and environmentally-friendly alternative for families. Each urn is hand-painted by skilled artisans and some designs include real beach sand (or crushed quartz) applied to the outer surface of the urn. The urns have holes in the bottom, to allow water to enter quickly so that they float only briefly and then gracefully sink when placed into water.
Each urn includes a biodegradable bag into which the cremated remains must be placed. No glue is required to seal the urn. Simply remove the lid, carefully moisten the inside lip and replace the lid. It will seal itself. The urns are produced with a vegetable-based gelatin.
When buried in the ground, the urn will biodegrade within three months. Once placed in water, the urn will break down within three days.
