Blue Water Burial Small Urn

Buyers who need something small for a scattering at sea come to this one first: a flat blue paper urn, six by five and a half inches, two inches deep. The colour is a plain mid-blue with no pattern over it.

It holds 59 cubic inches. That is a full set for a child or a pet under about 59 pounds, and a share of the ashes for an adult, since a set needs roughly one cubic inch for every pound of body weight. A side opening takes the fill. On the water it floats briefly, then draws water and goes under, and the paper breaks down from there.

• 59 cu in; check that against the weight before you order
• Side opening for filling flat on a table
• Inexpensive enough to order several when ashes are being divided
