Rio Biodegradable Urn

£120.00

The Rio Biodegradable Urn is a new addition to our range, that allows for the dignified and ceremonial laying to rest of a loved one’s ashes. The urn is made of ceramic and organic fibres, making it 100% biodegradable without any negative impact on the environment. It is incredibly versatile as the ashes can be laid to rest in the ground or in water, and the urn will not begin to degrade until introduced to the soil or water. Dimensions – 23cm high, 18cm diameter, 2kg weight, 3 litre capacity.
