Tierra Hielo Biodegradable Urn

This urn allows for the dignified and ceremonial storing or laying to rest of a loved one’s ashes. The urn is made of ceramic and organic fibres, and finished with a special glazing to preserve it for home or columbaria use.

Once the urn is laid into soil, it will completely biodegrade over decades without any negative impact on the environment. It is incredibly versatile as the ashes can be laid to rest in the ground after many years, and the urn will not begin to degrade until introduced to the soil.

Urn Specification:

• Height: 27.5cm
• Diameter: 20cm
• Weight: 2kg
  
• Capacity: 4 Litres

Key Details:

• Coated in a stunning crackled white glaze
• Does not dissolve in water due to its special coating
• Degrades in soil over decades, without any impact on the environment
• Suitable for home or columbaria use, will not degrade unless in soil
• Simply seal with a small amount of glue (supplied)
• Water-soluble and biodegradable bag to hold the ashes inside.

Ground Use:

Take the water-soluble bag out of the urn. Cut the strap and keep it to close the bag. Place the open bag inside the urn and carefully place the ashes inside. Close the bag with the strap. Seal the urn with a small amount of glue (supplied). Leave the glue to set for a few hours, but ideally overnight. Do not lift the urn by the lid once the glue has been applied. Place the urn into the ground, cover with soil and compress, making it level with the ground and then water lightly. Over the decades to come, the urn will degrade and the ashes will disperse into the soil.

Water Use:

The Hielo Biodegradable Urn is not water soluble, and therefore not suitable for water burial.
