Adult Dolphin Biodegradable Water Burial Urn

Dolphins are printed across the lid of this one, over a blue ground, and the whole shell is a moulded paper product that softens and dissolves once it is in the water. It measures 12 by 10 inches and 3 inches deep, a little more compact than the sand-finished version of the same flat design.

It takes 240 cubic inches, so an adult up to about 240 pounds. The side opening is where the ashes go in, and once it is closed the seam is barely visible from a few feet away, which matters when people are standing round at a service. Families usually let it drift a short way from the boat before it settles, and it is gone in minutes rather than hours.

• 12 x 10 inches, small enough for one person to carry and release.
• Side opening for loading the ashes.
• The dolphins are printed on the lid only; the underside is plain paper stock.
