Tips For Choosing And Using Biodegradable Cremation Urns

By Sally Delacruz


Cremated ashes can be legally disposed of in several different ways. When wanting to scatter the ashes of a deceased person at sea, however, people have to refer to some fairly specific requirements. One of these is the need to use biodegradable cremation urns. It is safe to put these vessels into the sea. They will be gradually broken down by the elements and they will not cause harm to the environment in the process.

One reason that people find these options so appealing is that they are not bad for the environment. There are many toxins that cremated ashes can contain and this is actually why there are a lot of restrictions on how these can be disbursed. This is partially due to the embalming process that many people undergo before their viewing ceremonies are held. The body still contains the related embalming fluids when cremated and this means that these will also be present in the ashes.

Dental fillings and other synthetic additions to the body will be present in the ashes as well. This is why urns will need to be airtight and water tight when these are placed in the ocean. People can gain comfort from the fact that an urn will slowly erode away and the interior ashes will be gradually released.

While they might sound like very basic containers, there is still a lot of focus placed on exterior aesthetics. There is also a wealth of design options to choose from. Thus, you can still find a large variety of traditional and eclectic options as well as units that are highly affordable.

People can use green urn products for more than simply putting ashes into the see. There are additionally designs that are meant to be used as keepsakes as well as those that are meant for conventional burials. Putting cremated ashes into cemetery plots is common as it creates a place for consumers to visit and honor their loved ones without having to suffer the expense of regular burial procedures.

One major factor in determining which option is going to prove best for your needs will be how you plan to inter or house the ashes. A lot of families purchase smaller plots for cremated ashes. Cemeteries often have these plots available in landscaped, garden areas.

An alternative to this form of burial is to have ashes placed in a columbarium. Columbariums are generally huge, vertical structures that contain a number of private niches. Ashes are stored in a niche that the family has purchased. Given the small sizes of these niches, however, consumers must take care to avoid urn designs that are too larger in size.

People will have a number of rules that they must follow when working with cemeteries. This can definitely be the case in terms of the burial containers that will be used. Cemeteries might push people to buy their own products, but this isn't something that they can require you to do. You have the right to work with the supplier of your choice and your funeral home or cemetery cannot penalize you for making this decision.
