Biodegradable boxes for ashes are a natural choice for the growing number of people who are looking for earth-friendly options in the products they buy. Available in a variety of styles and colors, they are made with natural materials that will break down when buried or when exposed to water, depending on the urn.
Together with cost savings, concern for the environment is one of the reasons for the growing popularity of cremation as an alternative to traditional burial. In keeping with the spirit of "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust" — a phrase from the centuries-old burial rite in the Book of Common Prayer — cremation is seen by many as the most ecologically sound means of disposing of bodily remains.
No wonder, then, that among people who choose cremation, biodegradable boxes for ashes have also become a popular choice to hold the cremated remains of their loved ones.
Biodegradable boxes for ashes are designed to break down naturally when buried or exposed to moisture rather than to withstand the elements. They contain absolutely no metal components, and the only plastic used is an EPA-approved biodegradable plastic bag, which is used as an inner lining. These urns are even sealed with an environmentally friendly glue.
