Rocks in Water Cylinder Urn

Scattering tubes like this one are built to be opened once. The body is a biodegradable cylinder, five inches across and twelve and a half tall, printed with an image of smooth rocks lying under clear water. It opens at the top so the ashes leave in a controlled stream rather than a cloud.

It works for earth burial too, where the tube breaks down along with everything inside it. What it is not is a display urn: there is no seal and no threaded closure, so it should not stand on a mantel for years. No capacity figure is published for this model, so if you are matching it to a specific body weight, ask us before ordering.

• Measures 5 by 5 inches at the base and stands 12.5 inches tall.
• Single use, for scattering or burial rather than long-term display.
• Carry it in the box it arrives in, since the tube dents under a firm grip.
