Biodegradable Urn for Scattering Cremated Ashes in Ocean Water, Ground or Sea Burial, Earth Friendly Eco Ashes (Oceanside Shell White Biodegradable Urn) W-304

Purchased to release my brother’s ashes at sea. Beautiful design and well made. It was bigger than expected. Performed perfectly well. Highly recommend. We boated out into the ocean to release at his favorite fishing spot. While it was tricky reaching the water surface from aboard, once placed into the water, it gently bobbed among the slight waves. It floated long enough for the Israel Kamakawiwo’ole song version of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ to play to end, then it slowly slipped under the surface and down into the depths. It was perfect, though emotional. Plan ahead. You do need to glue (included) the top onto the bottom, once ash filled, and place included clips on for sealing pressure while glue dries; overnight is best. A biodegradable bag is included for ashes too.

Beautiful memorial urn. It performed as described.

We bought this biodegradable urn for a water burial goodbye. The urn is great quality and very pretty. The material is similar to a strong mache. We sealed the edges with the glue provided. The urn is fairly large, about 15" in diameter and held a full size adult ashes. We placed the urn in the water which had a few gentle waves. We added some flowers from our yard and sprinkled the pedals on top of the urn. The urn floated about 5 minutes and then gently sank as expected. We were very happy with the urn and it's quality.

This was a wonderful purchase. We were able to put my father's ashes in the water where he grew up and lived for most of his life. Our urn floated for about maybe 10 minutes, I was unable to really watch the time. I did take video and counted from it. The water was calm and there were very gentle waves and that gave us more time. We all were able to pray and say the things we needed to in memoriam of my father. It was truly a wonderful way to place my father's ashes. It was a very dignified way to celebrate someone who loved the water as my father had. I highly recommend this product.

Works well, but becareful when handling the material it is a little fragile. The included clamps and glue work good. A little hint, once you do the initial gluing let dry and reglue the seam again just incase a spot or two was missed. You can also put glue on any little inperfections, this will keep it afloat longer. We did ours in Hawaii and it was a beautiful tribute to our daughter, I think you will be quite happy with it!

Knowing that we wanted to send my Dad's ashes off in to the Atlantic in Newport, RI, we wanted to make sure that his ashes would actually make it down in to the water (not float on top or get stuck to a passing boat). A little looking and I found this! It was exactly what we needed. We were able to transport Dad's ashes in to the water-soluble, included bag and tie it up, placing it inside the outer case and using the included glue to seal the edges; leaving it to dry overnight with the included clips placed all around the edge to help truly seal it together. The shell design was beautiful and we had a nice moment where we all stood in a circle and passed it around so each could hold Dad one last time and say something if they wanted to, before the 3 siblings held it and threw it into the water. It floated on the surface for several minutes before it began to break apart and sink, but it was getting hammered pretty hard against some nearby rocks due to the waves. I was really impressed how long it stayed intact with how much it got moved around. If you're looking to do a water spreading of your loved one's ashes, I highly recommend this product as their final vessel.

A beautiful container for a memorial at sea. Ours floated for at least a couple of minutes if not longer. I do wish the assembly instructions had been more detailed as I found the process of putting it all together and gluing it shut properly to be stressful especially given the emotional nature of the process. Try to spread the cremains in their biodegradable bag evenly around the bottom bowl of the container. I worried at first that they wouldn't all fit but they easily did. Definitely heed the instructions to use all the glue and clips to fasten the lid. Set it up on a box on a table as you work so you can see all of the edges well, and try to have a helper if possible. I used 4-5 clothespins in addition to the clips provided as it seemed there might be gaps otherwise. My guess was that gaps would lead to leakage and quicker sinking. Also be aware that the edges become fragile as they get moist with glue so try to work relatively quickly as you wipe off excess glue. I allowed two days for it to dry but one full day probably would've been enough. Because of the type of boat and the conditions we had to sort of drop ours from a foot or so above into the bay but it landed flat and upright and floated away beautifully. We had a lightweight biodegradable floral wreath placed around it that also floated and made for nice effect.

I ordered the Oceanside Shell Coral Sea Urn because my wife requested her ashes be scattered in the Gulf of Mexico and she loved going to the beach so this urn seemed like the best for her. When I opened the box, I did not think it would be large enough to hold her remains. I took it to the funeral home that performed the cremation and they said that human remains generally equal 1 cubic inch to 1 pound but bone density really determines the total. My wife weighed 130 lbs. and the funeral home said there was room left over and the urn probably could hold 220 cubic inches. I will update this review when I use the urn in the Gulf. The photos are from after the remains were transferred. On Aug 5, 2022 my family and I completed my wife's last wish and we placed her urn in the Gulf of Mexico. The urn floated for a little over a minute then slowly sank, it was beautiful way to complete her wish and I don't think it could have been any better. I bought the urn in Dec. 2021 and I live in Florida and was concerned the Urn would not withstand the Florida humidity but it did and I still believe the urn performed as advertised. I would recommend to anyone that wants a burial at sea. I have added a photo to my review on this date.

This was sooo memorable, beautiful, easy to use and unforgettable. It kept all the ashes perfectly. Took about 4.5 minutes to sink and it was perfect 💖
