Description
Beautifully designed and eco-friendly, Shell Biodegradable Urn in Pearl is an attractive, seashell-shaped urn intended for use in a water burial. Once set adrift in the sea, the Shell Biodegradable Urn will float briefly, slowly sink to the bottom, and naturally break down over time. A custom-made carrying case allows for easy and discreet transport of the urn.
This water burial urn is designed to biodegrade in water. Shell Biodegradable Urn is produced from 99% pre-consumer non-toxic recycled paper and paper clay. Each urn is handcrafted and painted with water-based paints by skilled artisans. The carrying case is recyclable.
Given its handcrafted nature, the urn may vary slightly in size, shape and appearance from the image displayed. A water-soluble bag is included. Cremated remains can be placed into the bag, then into the Shell Urn.
This is an American made cremation urn.

Beautiful from the beginning to the rejoining of our lives together. (Both of shells looked just like the picture above.)
July 31, 2017 by Mary D.
“I purchased this same shell for burial of my husband who died June 1, 2014. He was buried in front of the house we live in on the Intracoastal Waterway and you could see the ocean in the background. The peach colored shell was the perfect touch to the ending of a life together which began with peach colors in our wedding. This shell will be used for me to join him. The way the shell floats for a short period and then gently starts to drift to the bottom and dissolve is just breathe-taking. I think it was the most beautiful urn that I have ever seen for burial in the water.”
The Perfect Solution for Setting Both of My Parents to Rest Together
December 20, 2016 by JK (CA, United States)
“Everyone I dealt with at Stardust was kind and helpful. The urn itself was perfect given I was mixing the ashes of both of my parents and the extra capacity was critical. My only note of advice for those reading this review is to insert the biodegradable bag into the urn with the opening still available via the opening in the back of the urn and then doing the ashes transfer when the bag is already inside. This was the only way that seemed to work given the size of the opening in the back. Again, this is a GREAT option but this step might save you some difficulty.”
Make sure 400 cubic inches is the right size & Best for use in Calm waters
August 18, 2023 by A Reviewer (United States)
“The urn is beautiful and large. Suggestion 1 - carefully consider whether an urn this large is needed. I ended up using about 250 of 400 cubic inches. This partially filled urn was too light to sink properly, especially since there were waves and breezes. The boat had to follow the shell to make sure it was fully immersed before we could return to shore. Suggestion 2 - use only in calm waters if you want to have a ceremony or take pictures once the shell is in the water. Waves will carry the shell away quickly. I left 1 star off because there was no info on how to seal the opening on the bottom. I used glue and the piece fell off as soon as the shell hit the water.”
