If your loved one has requested that their ashes be scattered after death, it's important to understand this process and choose an urn that makes it easier. Most traditional urns are specifically made to seal the cremains inside, protecting them from being disturbed. Scattering urns are designed to open easily so that the ashes can be released. Our biodegradable scattering urns can be composted or recycled, or you may wish to keep yours to hold keepsakes or flowers.

Scattering Ashes Tube Urns

One of the most common and simple types of scattering urns is the tube urn. This is a two-piece scattering urn, with an inner container that holds the ashes and a printed outer tube to seal and decorate the urn. Once the cremains are added to the inner tube, the outer piece slides into place over it, and a lid covers the top. When you're ready to release the ashes, you can remove the lid and press in a perforated tab.

This type of scattering urn is usually TSA-compliant, which means that it can be carried in the cabin of an airplane in the United States. At Perfect Memorials, we offer biodegradable scattering urns made of eco-friendly materials and can be recycled or composted after the ashes have been released. Although these eco scattering urns often cannot be engraved directly, you can add an urn pendant that includes a photo, name, and dates. These pendants are beautiful keepsakes you can hold on to if even if you choose to recycle your urn.

Choosing the Size of Your Scattering Urn

Scattering urns come in two popular sizes: 200 cubic inches and 40 cubic inches. When choosing an urn size, consider your departed loved one's healthy weight. The conversion is typically one cubic inch per pound of healthy weight, so a 200 cubic inch scattering tube will work for anyone who weighed up to two hundred pounds. The small scattering tubes for ashes that hold up to 40 cubic inches will work for the cremains of a child or a small pet.
