Why We Use Biodegradable Urns For Our Ocean Memorials

At Ashes 2 Oceans, we believe that memorials should be as meaningful and natural as the lives they honor. That’s why every water memorial we offer — whether attended or unattended — includes a biodegradable urn, specifically designed for ocean ash scattering.

But why is this important? And what makes these urns so special?

A Gentle Return to Nature

Biodegradable urns are made from non-toxic, earth-friendly materials that naturally dissolve in water. As they float briefly and then gracefully sink, the urn begins to break down, allowing the ashes to be released into the ocean in a way that mirrors the cycle of life.

This gentle process offers a sense of peace and closure — a final farewell that respects both your loved one and the sea.

Why We Only Use Biodegradable Urns

We’ve made a commitment to the planet and to the people we serve. Here’s why we choose these urns exclusively:

• Environmentally Conscious: Traditional urns or scatter tubes can leave behind waste. Our Eco Water Urn is fully biodegradable, ensuring nothing harmful remains in the ocean.

• Legal & Safe: In many coastal areas, biodegradable urns are the only approved way to scatter ashes at sea. We stay in compliance so you don’t have to worry.

• Beautifully Designed: These urns aren’t just functional — they’re elegant, handcrafted vessels designed for a serene ocean farewell.

Designed for Ocean Memorials

Whether you're attending a personalized memorial service in the Channel Islands, California, or choosing an unattended scattering ceremony, your loved one’s ashes will always be released in one of our eco-friendly water urns.

This is more than a container. It’s a symbol of respect, connection, and a return to nature.
