The Pura 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 - 22cm high, 18cm diameter, 2kg weight, 3 litre capacity.



  • Coated in a tactile quartz sand finish

  • Dissolves in water within 20 minutes

  • Degrades in soil in 1 to 2 weeks, dependant on the soil type and humidity

  • Suitable for home or columbaria use, will not degrade unless in soil or water

  • Simply seal by dampening the edge of the lid to bond the two pieces together

  • Water-soluble and biodegradable bag to hold the ashes inside

How to use the Pura Biodegradable Urn

Earth Burial:

  1. Take the water-soluble bag out of the urn.
  2. Cut the strap and keep it to close the bag.
  3. Place the open bag inside the urn and carefully place the ashes inside.
  4. Close the bag with the strap.
  5. Seal the urn by lightly wetting the ridge of the lid and placing it on the urn, this will form a bond within a few minutes.
  6. Place the urn into the ground, cover with soil and compress, making it level with the ground and then water lightly.

Water Burial:

  1. Follow steps 1 to 5 above.
  2. Slowly lower the urn into the desired area of water.
  3. The Pura Biodegradable Urn will dissolve and the ashes will disperse within 20 minutes, although temperature, water mineral components and other factors could increase or decrease this time.

Ordering Information

To help you with size and choose the correct urn or keepsake we have a simple step by step guide.

  1. Start by taking some digital scales and the container of ashes that you would have received from the crematorium.
  2. Place this box onto the digital scales and weigh the ashes.
  3. If your ashes are contained in a poly-tub - remove 230g from the additional weight if they are in a cremation box - remove 200g from the weight.
  4. Our rule of thumb is that for every kilogram of cremated remains - equates to 1 litre of ashes.
  5. This means if you have approximately 3 kilograms of cremated remains you will need to purchase an urn of between 3-4 litres in capacity.
  6. We have urns to suit all needs available from 0.75 through to 8 litre capacities, as well as keepsakes to hold small tokens of ashes or locks of hair.
  7. If you are unsure about sizing an urn or keepsake please call us and we will be able to assist you.
