The Oceane Sand and Gelatin urn is produced using a clay-like material with real beach sand or crushed quartz applied to the surface of the urn to create an attractive and environmentally-friendly alternative. These top loading urns have openings in the bottom, allowing water to enter the urn allowing it to float briefly and then gracefully sink when placed in water. When buried in the ground, the urn will biodegrade within three months. When placed into water, the urn will break down within three days.
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 vegetable-based gelatin.
These urns meet federal regulations requiring all containers used for burials at sea to be 100% biodegradable.
Passages® eco-friendly funeral products give families the opportunity to honor a loved one after their passing with a smaller environmental footprint.
