Pearl Blue Bio Small Urn

Six inches across and two inches deep, this is the small version of the pearl-blue floating urn, made from the same pressed paper with the same faint iridescence. It is sized to be held in one hand at the moment of release.

Capacity is 59 cubic inches. That is not a full adult set of ashes: by the usual rule of one cubic inch per pound, it suits a child, an infant, a pet up to about 59 pounds, or a divided portion when several family members each want to scatter somewhere different. Ashes go in through a side opening, and the urn floats a short while before sinking and breaking down.

• 59 cu in: a partial portion for an adult, or a full set for a small pet or a child
• Side opening; fill it flat and press the flap closed before you travel
• Order more than one if the family is splitting ashes between several ceremonies
