The Journey™ Earthurn is perfect for ocean or deep water burial. These biodegradable urns are engineered to float momentarily and then gracefully sink. Once on the ocean floor, the urn will break down naturally over time.
Each Earthurn is hand made from sustainable resources and includes a water-soluble, biodegradable bag. They can be used for scattering, biodegradable burial or the temporary storage of cremated remains. No trees are cut down to manufacture these products.
Journey Earthurns are handmade using a centuries old papermaking technique. The bark from the mulberry tree is harvested, leaving the tree alive and intact. After the bark is soaked, the resulting pulp is laid out on bamboo screens, often with floral material inlaid, and dried in the sun. Once dry the paper is used to create our beautiful and earth-friendly urns, which will break down in water or soil.
The Earth Urn is available in avail in (Pictured) Aqua, Natural, Navy,) and (not pictured) Green Fern, Linen and Pearl White. $145.00 – $155.00

Earth Urn and Shell Water Urn FAQ
How long will the Journey Earthurns and The Shells take to sink?
In our experience we have found that the Journey Earthurns and the Shell Deep Water Bio Urns will sink between three and five minutes after being placed in the water. The time it takes for the urn to sink may vary significantly depending in local weather and water conditions and the weight of the cremated remains.
How long will the urn take to break down in water?
Within 24 hours of being placed in the water, the Journey Earthurns and Shell Deep Water Bio Urns will not be recognizable. Depending on local water conditions it can take between 30 and 90 days to completely degrade. Please note that these are organic products that biodegrade naturally over time.
How long will the urn take to break down when buried in the ground?
It can take several months depending on local conditions. Generally the more moisture in the soil, the quicker the urn will biodegrade.
Can I travel with the urn?
Yes, all of Passages urns are very durable and travel well. Further more, they meet all TSA requirements for “in-cabin” airline transportation.
What is included with each Earthurn?
Included with each urn is a biodegradable plastic bag and tie. Please be sure to read the packing instructions.
Will the urn biodegrade before I have time to bury or scatter?
No, Passages biodegradable urns are engineered to be durable and will not begin to biodegrade until they are placed in “the elements” (earth or water). This allows families to wait until they are ready to scatter or bury the cremated remains.
