Product Profile: Paper Turtle Biodegradable Urn For A Sea Burial
The gentle release of a loved one’s ashes into the sea using the Paper Turtle Biodegradable Urn can provide a meaningful sea burial. This urn is designed to float for a time on the surface of the water before sinking to biodegrade naturally.
Key features of the Paper Turtle Biodegradable Urn are:
- Made of natural, sustainably-harvested, and biodegradable materials (mostly paper)
- Crafted in Mexico
- Opening for cremated remains is located on the bottom. Carefully follow instructions for sealing it.
- Has a whimsical style.

Tips for use: Before placing turtle on the water, try to shake / distribute cremated remains evenly in the urn and place it on the water with horizontal orientation. If you tip the urn to one side, it is more likely to sink immediately rather than float gently for awhile.
Stardust Memorials offers a wide range of biodegradable urns including the most popular water burial urns: the Journey Biodegradable Urn and the Shell Biodegradable Urn.
