Is the Aqua Shell Urn truly biodegradable and safe for water burials?

Yes, the Aqua Shell Urn from Eco Casket Co. is crafted from natural sand and gelatin, making it 100% biodegradable and safe for use in oceans, lakes, or rivers. It gently floats for 1–5 minutes before dissolving, ensuring a respectful and environmentally friendly water burial.

Can this urn hold all of an adult's ashes?

Absolutely. The Aqua Shell Urn has a 240 cubic inch capacity, which is designed to accommodate the full cremated remains of most adults. This makes it suitable for individual memorials at sea or in any body of water.

Is the urn allowed on flights if I want to travel to a special water location?

Yes, the Aqua Shell Urn is TSA-compliant, meaning you can safely and legally bring it with you when flying to your chosen destination for the ceremony. The included eco keepsake bag and water-safe packaging make travel convenient and secure.

How does the float and dissolve process work during the ceremony?

The urn is placed gently on the water, where it will float for one to five minutes, allowing for a peaceful tribute and reflection time. After floating, the biodegradable material gradually dissolves, releasing the ashes gently into the water for a natural return to the elements.

What makes this urn special compared to standard water urns?

The Aqua Shell Urn’s unique seashell shape, soothing aqua color, and natural texture create a calming memorial that evokes the spirit of the sea. Its certified green design and peaceful dissolution offer a symbolic journey, making it especially meaningful for those who loved the water. Extras like the included keepsake bag and packaging add thoughtfulness to the overall experience.
