Sand Water Burial Urn

Soft sand and cream panels tied with a ribbon give the Sand Water Burial Urn a natural, beach-inspired look. It holds the full remains of an adult.

Made from biodegradable paper materials, it breaks down naturally and leaves nothing harmful behind, a gentle way to return to nature.

Engraving is available to add a name, dates or a short message.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size urn do I need?

A common guideline is one cubic inch of capacity for every pound of body weight before cremation, so a 240 cubic inch urn like the Sand Water Burial Urn generally fits an adult who weighed up to about 240 pounds.

Are there rules for a water burial?

In the U.S., the EPA allows burial of cremated remains at sea at least three nautical miles from land, and the burial must be reported to the EPA within 30 days. Lakes, rivers and other inland waters may have state or local rules, so check before the ceremony.

How should I store a biodegradable urn?

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from water, humidity and direct sunlight until the ceremony, since moisture starts the natural breakdown process.

How quickly will my urn ship?

Orders placed by 1:00 PM CST, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day. For engraved orders, the engraving proof needs to be approved by 1:00 PM CST to ship that day. Orders completed after the cutoff ship the next business day. Our team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
