Is the Shadow Crest Chest Urn truly biodegradable, and how long does decomposition take in the ground?

Yes, the Shadow Crest Chest Urn is made from 100% biodegradable, sustainable paper materials. When buried in the earth or placed in water, it starts to naturally break down, typically decomposing within 3-6 months depending on soil and climate conditions. This makes it a perfect choice for green burials and eco-conscious memorials.

Can this urn hold all of an adult’s ashes, and how do I choose the right size?

The large size of the Shadow Crest Chest Urn is designed to comfortably hold the full remains of most adults. If you wish to retain only a portion of ashes, or to distribute keepsake portions to loved ones, the mini urn option is ideal. Choosing between mini and large depends on whether you want a full-size memorial or a smaller keepsake.

Is the metallic black finish safe for the environment and will it affect the biodegradability?

Absolutely! The metallic black finish is achieved using eco-friendly, non-toxic embossing on biodegradable paper. It does not compromise the urn’s earth-friendly qualities or degrade its ability to break down naturally, ensuring both an elegant appearance and a sustainable farewell.

Can I transport this urn by air or bring it in my carry-on luggage for a flight?

Yes, both the large and mini Shadow Crest Chest Urns are TSA-compliant. Their all-paper, non-metal construction means they easily pass through airport security and are safe to carry on both domestic and international flights. We recommend checking with your airline for any specific guidelines on carrying cremated remains.

Is the Shadow Crest Chest Urn sturdy enough to be displayed at home or during a memorial service?

Definitely. While the urn is crafted from biodegradable paper, it is designed to be sturdy and dignified for display at home, at a ceremony, or during a memorial service. Its chest-style structure ensures stability, and the embossing gives it a sophisticated look, making it a fitting tribute before its eventual earth-friendly return.
