How long will the White Shell Urn float before sinking during a water burial?

The White Shell Urn is designed to float for a brief time—typically 1 to 5 minutes—giving you a peaceful moment for remembrance before it gracefully sinks and begins to dissolve. This creates a moving, gentle farewell ceremony on the water.

Is the White Shell Urn truly biodegradable and safe for the environment?

Yes, the White Shell Urn is crafted from a sand and gelatin composite that's 100% biodegradable and certified by the Green Burial Council. It completely dissolves in water, leaving no trace behind, making it safe for oceans, lakes, and rivers.

Will this urn hold all the ashes from a full adult cremation?

Absolutely. The White Shell Urn has a capacity of 240 cubic inches, which is suitable for holding the ashes of most adults after cremation. It's spacious enough to accommodate nearly all full sets of adult remains.

Is the White Shell Urn TSA-approved for air travel if I need to transport it?

Yes, this urn is TSA-compliant, so you can safely travel with it by air. We recommend carrying the urn in your hand luggage and bringing documentation from your crematory for smooth passage through airport security.

Can I personalize the water ceremony with the White Shell Urn?
