Biodegradable Urns
At Passages, we believe that honoring a loved one’s life should be meaningful and respectful, reflecting their values and the love they shared with the world. Our collection of biodegradable urns offers a beautiful, eco-friendly way to return your loved one to the earth or water, providing a gentle, natural farewell that respects both the individual and the environment.
What Are Biodegradable Urns?
Biodegradable urns are specially designed to break down naturally over time, ensuring a minimal environmental impact. Made from sustainable, non-toxic materials, these biodegradable urns decompose naturally when placed in the earth or water, supporting eco-friendly burial practices and allowing your loved one to be part of the natural cycle of life. Choosing a biodegradable urn is a meaningful way to celebrate a life while preserving the environment for future generations.
Types of Passages Biodegradable Urns
Water Biodegradable
Our water biodegradable urns are specifically designed for scattering ashes in deep, large bodies of water. Made from natural materials like recycled or handmade paper, sand and gelatin, or Himalayan Rock Salt these biodegradable urns float briefly before gently sinking, where they will break down naturally and release the ashes into the water. Each biodegradable urn is crafted to provide a beautiful and serene farewell, perfect for honoring a loved one’s connection to the sea or their love of nature.
Earth Biodegradable
For those who wish for a more traditional burial, our earth biodegradable urns are an excellent choice. Made from materials such as bamboo or up-cycled timber cornstarch, recycled or handmade paper, these biodegradable urns are designed to degrade naturally when buried in the ground. As they break down, they return to the earth and complete the natural cycle. Our biodegradable earth urns come in a variety of designs, offering an elegant and dignified option for an eco-conscious burial.
BioTree
For a truly unique and living tribute, consider our Biotree urns, which are designed to grow into a living tree or plant. These urns include a certificate that can be redeemed for tree seeds. The urn can also be used with a dry root sapling (12”) if preferred. These are available for purchase here on our website. Biotree planting system reduces the pH of the cremated remains allowing the tree to grow inside the urn. Once the urn begins to crack, it is time to plant the Biotree Urn in a pot or outside. They provide a beautiful way to create a lasting memorial that grows and thrives, representing the continuation of life in a natural, meaningful way. This option is perfect for those who love nature and want their memory to be preserved in a living form. The urn can also be kept inside your home on a coffee or dining table while the seed germinates and the tree starts to grow.
