Urns
Urns can be used for scattering ashes, having a water burial, or to bury ashes in the ground. They can be as a keep-sake to be kept discreetly on display or in a prominent place within your home. Talk with us about options that may suit your needs.
These urns are designed to make the scattering of ashes more accessible, and an activity that is perhaps done by one person or a group. Ashes may be in one urn or divided into two or more smaller ones. When scattering ashes, be mindful of the weather, in particular, the wind direction. There is no difference between the urns or tubes, just the supplier. Containers are modern prints on 100% biodegradable cardboard.
Water Burial Urns
Many families wish to scatter the ashes of their loved one at sea. The weather at sea can often be unpredictable making scattering ashes on a windy day a difficult experience.
Life Cycle Deep Ocean urns allow you to gently place the ashes into the water. Made from 100% biodegradable paper and cornstarch, the urn begins to break down within minutes of being placed out at sea. You may also wish to do this off a beach or in a stream/river. Be mindful that councils have their own regulations and it is not advisable to try to have a water burial on a public and popular pier such as St Kilda. Use discretion.
Burial Pillows & Water Pillows
Burial pillows are made from biodegradable cardboard and are designed to be buried in the ground. The first selection pillows are made from corrugated-styled cardboard, and the second are in a recycled paper style.
Made from biodegradable cardboard, these come in an array of designs, in two sizes.
