Biodegradable Urn Options At Maine Cremation Care
At Maine Cremation Care, we offer a variety of biodegradable urns that combine environmental sustainability with beauty and craftsmanship. Keep reading to explore some of our options.
Oceane Gelatin & Oceane Sand Biodegradable Urns
Our Oceane Gelatin and Ocean Sand biodegradable urns are handcrafted from gelatin and hand-painted by skilled artisans. These urns feature holes in the bottom, allowing water to enter quickly. When placed in water, they float briefly before gracefully sinking. Designed for both ground and water burials, they biodegrade in three months when buried and three days when used for water burials. Additionally, these urns are airport security safe, making them convenient for travel.
Natural Sand Urns
Made from a blend of sand and gelatin, our Natural Sand urns are not only beautiful but also biodegradable. These urns decompose within 12 months when buried and six months during water burials. During an ocean burial, the lid lifts to release the remains into the current. With four different styles available, you can select an urn that reflects the individuality of your loved one.
Carpel Rock Salt Urns
Crafted from biodegradable Himalayan rock salt, our Carpel Rock Salt urns offer a unique and sustainable option. These urns dissolve naturally in approximately four hours when placed in water, making them suitable for water burials.
Shell Urns
Our Shell urns are handcrafted from food-grade recycled paper and meticulously designed to resemble gorgeous seashells. Each urn comes with a carrying case for ease of transport and protection. In memory of your loved one, a donation will be made to The Ocean Conservancy, supporting ocean conservation efforts.
Turtle Urns
Constructed by hand from recycled paper using non-toxic glues, our Turtle urns offer a unique and eco-friendly option. These urns are designed to float briefly before gently sinking, creating a peaceful and natural transition. The time it takes to sink depends on weight and water conditions, allowing for a personalized farewell. Over time, these urns biodegrade gradually, blending harmoniously with the environment.
Unity Earth Urns
For those seeking a nature-inspired tribute, our Unity Earth urns are a perfect choice. These heart-shaped cremation urns are made from mulberry tree bark, with flower petals and leaves interwoven into the design. Crafted for ground burial, these urns are biodegradable and allow a seamless connection with the earth.

Choose to include a seedling in your order, or visit your local landscape center to find the perfect plant species. The urn includes a bamboo container to hold the remains until planting.
Journey Series Urns
Our Journey Series urns are handcrafted from sustainably produced, biodegradable paper. These urns briefly float before gently sinking. Over time, they break down naturally, returning to the earth. With over 20 different colors and patterns to choose from, you can select an urn that reflects your loved one’s unique personality and style.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Biodegradable Urn
When selecting a biodegradable urn, several factors should be considered to ensure it aligns with your vision and preferences.
