About These urns are produced in the greenest manner possible using recycled paper, non-toxic, plant-based adhesive, and a minimal amount of water-based paint or varnish. They are used primarily for ocean burial and are designed to float for several minutes before slowly sinking and biodegrading naturally over time.

I began designing biodegradable cremation urns in 2009 to help satisfy a growing need for sustainable, affordable, creative and unique burial choices. I create the prototypes in my Albuquerque studio and they are produced at a small crafts company in San Miguel Allende, Mexico. Artisans are paid a living wage for their work in a traditional art form. Your purchase helps support the local economy in San Miguel Allende.
