A wonderfully crafted environmentally-friendly and fairtrade cremation urn, we have seen a number of woven designs, but won't stock any other make, we think they are excellent. Made from Pandanus*, an environmentally-friendly alternative to seagrass, it comes with a thick cotton bag for the ashes. There are two designs, both in natural weave; the  Allium (Round Casket) or Tulip (Bell Shaped Casket).  This urn is ideal for burial at a formal grave site or green burial.

Approx 3 litres

*Pandanus or wild pineapple is an environmentally friendly alternative to seagrass. Seagrass is an aquatic plant which grows in shallow coastal waters and provides shelter for many species of nursery fish. When this is harvested, the habitat is destroyed and the fish are endangered. Pandanus, on the other hand, is a prolific and rapidly growing weed which thrives anywhere on land, even in adverse conditions. When woven it is almost indistinguishable from seagrass.

* The banana, believed to have originated from the jungles of Asia, is generally mistaken for a tree, but is actually the world's largest herb. Their main stem can reach a height of up to 8 metres, though it is not actually formed of wood, but the tightly coiled leaves of the plant. The banana caskets are made using these dried leaves after the tree has produced its fruit and the stem is cut back each year.

A beautiful handpainted biodegradable urn that is suitable for anyone that wishes to hold on to the ashes for a while before burying as the urn will not breakdown until it is buried in the earth.  Made of cornstarch it is available in several different colours or with a handpainted floral motif.

The Eco urn can be kept at home, or placed in a cemetery niche or columbarium, since they will not biodegrade or deteriorate unless buried. When buried in earth, the urn will biodegrade completely over time normally one to three years depending on soil conditions. As the lid of the urn locks securely and permanently this urn is not suitable for scattering ashes.

Each urn comes in a convenient carry box that can be used for discreet and convenient transportation. The urns can be x-rayed when travelling abroad and are packed in an attractive box with handle.

These exquisite urns are made from recycled paper and are individually hand finished.  They come in three different colours; the Moss Green is made from recycled silk and mulberry leaves which is made into paper, the Russet coloured paper is handmade, and the Gold  is prepared with a dark red base paper onto which Dutch metal gold leaf is applied. As the leaf is applied cracks and small breaks naturally appear in the surface, which allow the underlying red surface to show through and add to the overall richness of the finish. The stalk of the lid is made from a twist of recycled paper. Each urn is supplied individually boxed. The close fitting lid makes it ideal for the storage or burial of ashes.

A 100% cotton draw string ashes bag is also available as an optional extra for the interior. The ashes bag is secured with a draw string to the opening. Using a flexible bag secured over the opening of the standard plastic crematorium jar can make this easier to achieve and many people prefer to know that the ashes are additionally nested inside the new ashes urn.
