Biodegradable Urn (Burgundy Lily) for Scattering Cremated Ashes in Ocean Water, Ground or Sea Burial, Earth Friendly Eco Urn, Water Soluble, Floating Urns for Cremation, Adult Size Large

My husband wanted to be scattered in the ocean. After quite a bit of indecision, i finally chose this lily. It is much prettier in person. Our family took turns decorating it with meaningful drawings that reminded us of who he was. We filled the biodegradable inner bag ourselves. The directions say to use all the glue, which seemed a bit excessive. When you apply clips, the glue oozes out from between the plates and is somewhat messy. Also the package does not indicate how long it takes to dry. We assembled it the night before, and it wasn't dry the next morning, which caused some concern.We chartered a sailboat and released it three miles from shore. It was a short drop from the boat into the ocean. Despite the wet glue, it survived the drop without coming apart. We had placed flowers on top, and it rode the waves as The Blue Danube Waltz played in the background. It floated aound twenty minutes before starting to disintegrate.It was a beautiful farewell to a life well lived. I was pleased with the flower urn, and would recommend it.

These were delivered very fast and with care. I ordered as a gift for a dear friend who recently lost their mother. She knew she planned on spreading her mother’s ashes at favorite water fall and was so grateful for these as they allowed her to have prepped prior and have a beautiful send off. I purchased two small ones to allow both her and sister to have their own to send off. She did say she had to purchase some additional glue etc to help put together but was very grateful for this gift instead of flowers as she hadn’t had a chance to even consider or know these existed.

Good product

I launched my mother’s ashes in a small lake at the top of the Beartooth Mountains. The lily looked beautiful on the water. I was large enough that it would hold many more ashes than we had. We watched it float a good long way and I think she made it to the other side before submerging. It was a beautiful send off.

This past weekend, my family and I gathered with friends to send off our great aunt. This urn was PERFECT! Seeing it bob in the water after we said our prayers and remembrances was just lovely. I would recommend this urn to anyone. There is some glueing and transfering of the ashes to the biodegradable bag that comes with the urn kit, but the directions are easy to understand and it worked out just fine. Just make sure to do the transfer of ashes outside...

Cons: There are done misleading claims in the product description. It says it is 6” high, but it’s really only just over 4” high. It claims to hold 200 cubic inches, but I measured a box of sand that held 192 cubic inches and there was absolutely no way it would fit. You get the urn, clips, glue, and biodegradable bag for the ashes, but the urn was just pressed paper and it all seemed overpriced to us.Pros: All that being said, our ceremony went without a hitch and it worked as advertised: the urn floated away from the boat for about 30 seconds, then slowly sank in to the water. The water was clear so we could see that the urn didn’t just immediately sink like a rock but sank slowly. I give the performance 5 stars.Tip: if you do buy this product, after the glue dries and the plastic clips are removed, squirt a liberal amount of glue all around the outside to get a good seal; use your finger to push the glue into the seam as you work your way around the bowl. Thus insures there are no small missed cracks where the ashes might escape.

UNBIASED OPINION. I have not been paid for or received anything for my review.In the images, you can see all the contents received and required to assemble and use. The urn is large in diameter, but very shallow in depth. That means that it will not hold a lot of ashes. We were unable to put all of the remains inside, but I was aware of that before I purchased. It can also be a little messy if you are transferring ashes from one container to another. But I was aware of that too before purchasing. I masked and gloved up in advance and transferred outside. You may also have the option of giving the biodegradable bag to the crematorium for them to fill.It does require a little time and effort to add the glue and clip the edges. But the final affect was a very pretty urn, especially after we added fresh flowers. Overall it was a good purchase and I would purchase again.

worked well in the ocean.

This works as described. Its a very nice urn. We each laid a fresh flower on top before we set it sail and once it sunk, about 2 min, the fresh flowers dispersed out into the water. Beautiful.

Product is very unique and is as described. I hope that I don't have to use it for a long time.

Was perfect , elegant and so well made

I ordered this for myself. When I opened it, it was a piece of art. Absolutely gorgeous. I have shown this piece off to many friends an family. My only concern, and I could be completely wrong - is the bowl in the middle big enough for all of the remains? I will have to ask an expert.
