Small Turtle Biodegradable Water Burial Urn

Sea turtle imagery is the reason people find this one: it gets chosen for divers, swimmers and anyone whose life was spent near the coast. The urn is a flat paper form, six by five and a half inches and two inches deep, with the turtle printed on the upper face.

At 59 cubic inches it holds a child's or a small pet's full set of ashes, or a portion of an adult's, at roughly one cubic inch per pound. The side opening takes the fill. Release it from a boat or from shallow water and it will float long enough to be photographed before it takes on water and goes down.

• Sea turtle motif on the top face
• 59 cu in capacity, a partial portion for most adults
• Floats briefly on release, then sinks and breaks down
