Our Eco Water Burial Biodegradable Cremation Urn is a beautiful way for families to spread ashes of a loved one in a water burial on the ocean, river or lake with dignity and ease. Our Eco Water Urn comes to you packaged in a beautiful bamboo case which serves to protect the water urn while it is stored or transported. It's also a wonderful way to display during the ceremony in a beautiful and dignified manner. The urn and container are made of plant derived materials which gives them a unique and consistent look and performance. The urn itself, when placed upright in the water, will float like a buoy for upwards of two minutes depending on the weather and water conditions, allowing time for ceremonial viewing of the urn before it breaks down and completely releases the cremains into the water.
Our Eco Water Urn can be used with up to one set of cremated remains or just a portion. Once the cremains are transferred in, check to see if the urn is at least about half full. If it is less than half full, simply add some sand from the beach/shore or fine pebbles until the urn is about 50 to 60 percent full to achieve the best upright floating positioning. Another unique feature of this urn is that it allows family members to write special notes to their loved one on the urn with a regular marker.

Urn Sizing
Follow These Rules To Better Determine The Size Of The Urn You Need
Please Note: When we refer to "healthy" weight, we mean a weight prior to any illness that may have resulted
in weight loss, if applicable.
In order to hold all of your loved one's ashes you'll need to know the approximate healthy body weight
of the person or pet you are shopping for.
One pound of healthy body weight will yield just less than 1 cubic
inch of ash.
Assume for shopping purposes that: 1 pound of healthy body weight = 1 cubic inch
ash.
Easy example: A cremated 100 pound person (healthy weight) will yield
almost 100 cubic inches of ashes. So, if 1 pound = 1 cubic inch, you will need an urn
that is approximately 90-100 cubic inches or larger.
There are a lot of other factors that play into how much cremains (ashes) you will actually
receive from the crematorium. Cremated remains can vary in amount due to different
cremation processes, temperature variations and the bone structure of the decedent. Because of that we
can't guarantee 100% of the time that an urn will be large enough but if you follow these rules, or call
us to discuss, 99.95% of the time we'll be right on.
Buy an urn at least slightly larger than you need
to avoid having the urn be too small for the ashes. Urn capacity can only
be too small. You can use any size urn that holds more than you need.
Keepsake Cremation Jewelry is designed to hold a trace amount of ashes, similar to the size of a
ball-head sewing pin.
