The Journey Earthurn – Black is designed to float briefly for about 1 to 5 minutes, giving you a peaceful moment for your ceremony before it gently sinks and fully dissolves in water.

Is this urn suitable for ocean, lake, or river burials, and are there any legal restrictions?

Yes, the Journey Earthurn – Black is suitable for burials at sea, lakes, rivers, or any private water memorial. It's Green Burial Council approved and fully biodegradable.

How much ash does this urn hold, and will it fit the remains of an adult?
