Tips For Choosing And Using Biodegradable Cremation Urns

By Sally Delacruz


There are many legal ways to preserve or dispose of cremated ashes. When it comes to burying a loved one at sea, however, there are a number of requirements that people must adhere to. Foremost among these is the use of biodegradable cremation urns. These are vessels that are safe to use in ocean waters. The natural environment will slowly break these structures down without causing any major harm to the surrounding ecosystem.

One of the most attractive aspects of these designs is simply the fact that they are eco-friendly. Cremation ashes can have a number of toxins in them, which is why the disbursement of these ashes at sea is heavily regulated. This is often because people have their loved ones embalmed before holding private memorials or viewing ceremonies. The related fluids are burned with the body and will therefore be present in the resulting ashes.

Dental fillings as well as other synthetic products can be included in the resulting ashes also. This makes it necessary for containers to be air and water tight if they are going to be sent out to see. It can be comforting to know that the container is going to be broken down so that the enclosed ashes will eventually be released.

Even though many consumers expect to find basic designs only, manufacturers place a ton of focus on creating appealing aesthetics. There are plenty of styles available. This makes it possible for buyers to find affordable options as well as eclectic units and those that are very traditional.

Green urn designs are not just for the disposal of ashes at sea. These can also be used for keepsake purposes or when hosting a more traditional burial service. Placing ashes in a conventional burial plot is not uncommon as this gives people a place to honor and visit their loved ones without having to pay the often exorbitant costs of more standard burial procedures.

How you will be housing or interring the ashes is going to ultimately determine which design will be best. A lot of families are opting to put their loved ones in smaller plots. Cemeteries often have landscaped spaces that are designed specifically for housing cremated remains.

Columbariums are also a burial option for cremated ashes. These structures are large and contain a number of vertically positioned niches. Families can buy niche spaces for the storage of their departed loved ones. Because niches can be fairly small, it is important to choose an urn that is going to fit.

Some cemeteries have a number of stringent requirements that consumers need to follow. This can certainly be the case with the choice of burial containers. While many cemeteries will encourage people to purchase the containers they supply, you are not required to do this. You can work with any supply company that you prefer and cannot be charged handling fees by your cemetery or funeral home for having done so.
