A natural urn for a water sendoff of a loved one's ashes, Oceane Sand Footprints Biodegradable Urn Extra Small is well-designed for water burial and is an eco-friendly choice. The design -- imprinted in the sand texture of the urn -- looks like footprints on a beach. Made of sand and gelatin, the Oceane Sand Footprints Biodegradable Urn Extra Small is sturdy, yet lightweight until placed in water where it will break down naturally within a few days. This urn is made of natural and sustainable materials and is designed for biodegradable placement of ashes. In water, the urn will biodegrade in a few days and, when buried in the earth, the urn will biodegrade within three months. This small size is not appropriate for all ashes of an adult. This small size is meant to be used when only a portion of ashes will be scattered or for a child. The capacity is 50 cubic inches (50 lbs. prior to cremation) or about 3.5 cups of ashes. Given that it is handcrafted, the urn may vary slightly in size, shape, and appearance from the image displayed. A water-soluble bag is included. Ashes are placed into the bag, then into the Oceane Sand Footprints Biodegradable Urn Extra Small.
