One of the main concerns for families of the recently deceased is the type of urn for the ashes, since over the years it has become evident that the main materials used to make them are harmful to the environment.
Given the above, the idea of biodegradable urns was born, which are defined as those urns that are made with 100% natural materials, which allows them to be integrated into natural spaces, since they degrade thanks to the same biological action.
Since Urns UK is a natural park that respects the flora and ensures its proper maintenance, it uses Adult biodegradable urns designed to respect the environment at all times, and therefore includes plant substrate, minerals and other natural elements in its materials.
Furthermore, Urns UK has spaces with an incredible atmosphere, specifically designated for the storage of these biodegradable human urns. If the deceased's relatives wish to dispose of the urn in the sea or a river they must do so in biodegradable ash urns. It happens to be important to note that the urn will only take about ten minutes to decompose. So it won't affect the natural environment where it's placed. It takes about six months to disintegrate if buried.
Their basic function, precisely, is their natural degradation. The walls of ecological urns disintegrate to the point that they release the ashes into the environment. The materials they are made of quickly disintegrate upon contact with water or soil moisture.
In this way, the ashes will serve as a natural sustenance that will nourish the earth and the biodiversity that lives in and on it.
The duration of a biodegradable urn relies on the type of urn in practice. It also includes its materials and its exposure to the environment.
It can last a matter of minutes if the urn is thrown into the sea. It will take between a week and six months to decompose when buried.
The presence of water is vital in these situations. So soil moisture and atmospheric conditions will play an important role.
There are some urns that claim to be biodegradable but are not. It happens as they can take up to ten years to completely degrade. You should consult the funeral home that supplies them therefore.
Eco-friendly urns for ashes are not made of any metal. This is a noteworthy fact. Nor should they include a metal plaque commemorating the deceased. It should be made of another biodegradable material.
The Urns UK Biodegradable Urns for ashes have been developed with the smallest possible ecological footprint. It also combines exclusive quality and design. The urns are ideal for burial and submersion in water. They have a hole in the base covered with recycled cardboard. It comes like this so they can slowly fill with water until they touch the bottom when submerged.
