Pearl Sand Water Burial Adult Urn

Set on the water, this urn floats for a short while and then goes under as the paper takes on moisture. The finish is a pale pearl sand colour rather than a printed scene, and the form is flat and oval, 14 inches by 11 and only 3 deep, which is what keeps it level on the surface instead of tipping as it settles.

Capacity is 240 cubic inches, covering an adult up to roughly 240 pounds. Ashes load through an opening in the side that stays hidden once it is closed. It works from a boat or off a pier, and it can equally be buried in soil at a green cemetery, where the same material breaks down without leaving anything behind in the ground.

• 240 cubic inches, adult sized with room to spare.
• Side-loading opening, sealed before the committal.
• Flat 14 x 11 inch shape, easy to carry aboard a small boat.
