The Favorite Place® Burial Biodegradable Urn Box for Human Ashes by EARTH MEMORIALS Water Burial Urn (Flowers on White Metallic Embossed Paper, Small, 80 Cubic Inches 5”L x 4”W x 4”H)

Used this product during my brother's burial at sea. We were very pleased with the appearance of this container and how it performed in the water. We were concerned it might sink "like a rock" or not sink at all. After I dropped it into the ocean, it floated on top of the water for 20 seconds, then slowly started to sink and, after about 30 seconds total, disappeared from sight. Perfect. We were very glad we used this container and didn't try to scatter the cremains. We read horror stories about ashes blowing back onto the boat or onto people's clothes and that would have happened to us. We scattered rose petals right after placing the container into the water, and about 1/4 of the rose petals ended up on the boat. It was a very peaceful and beautiful burial at sea for my brother.

Easy to use. Floated as described. We put the box into a basket and lowered the basket to the water and released it all. It was beautiful. Thank you.

Used this to do a water burial for some pets. It was plenty big for several dogs ashes and had room to spare. It was very attractive and sank and dissolved quickly.

I liked the size I used it to take on a cruise to put ashes in the ocean. It went through airport security no problem. It even came with a certificate saying it was airplane approved and biodegradable . I ordered the motorcycle one because my son rode a Harley it was very nice and sturdy it was easy to fill and secure just follow easy directions. It made a very difficult situation easier.

After scattering my fathers ashes at sea “the old fashioned way” 28 years ago, and having them blow around and watching them just sit on the surface of the water, I knew I didn’t want that experience when it was time for my mothers burial at sea. Especially now that I have a teen son that would be attending.This product worked perfectly. It was easy to transfer the ashes to the biodegradable bag and tie the bag closed. Then I secured the bag in the “inner” box and closed the flaps securely. Finally the outer cover closed and sealed with the enclosed tape.From placing the box in the sea and it floated - there was enough time for each of 5 of us to put flowers in the water one at a time after - and then shortly after the box sank gracefully.This exact product was offered to me by the funeral home at an 800% mark up. FYI.

This urn was perfect for spreading a portion of my mom's ashes in the bay. The box sank within a minute or 2, while the white cover remained on the surface of the water for up to 10 minutes. We felt as if she wanted to hang around a bit longer.

It’s such a sad time to bury ashes at sea but this worked perfectly and is beautiful. It came with a bag and everything you need and was biodegradable.It sinks faster then I thought but that’s ok.

This is a great "idea" however we were shocked, sad, and quite frankly, embarrassed when we received the urn. It put us in a terrible bind scrambling to find a last minute alternative. The photos made the urn (basically a small decorated paper box) look absolutely beautiful, and it may just be beautiful in someone else's eyes (beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?), but it did not work out for us. I guess we were expecting more for the price. I'm just sorry we did not think to take close up photos or a video of what we received to share with other potential buyers so they can make a more informed purchase.

I opted for the starfish design. Description of product was accurate, I would say it was even nicer than I had anticipated. The coral deign has an ever so slightly metallic sheen (not tacky or too loud).Like some have mentioned in the comments, unfortunate circumstances to find yourself having to purchase an urn but I am grateful at how easy and affordable it was.

The Urn was easy to close, and quite sturdy, Instructions were explicit. I have to admit that I was skeptical that this Urn would float with the weight of the CR' s within the Urn. I was pleasantly surprised, the Urn did float for a full 10 min before it disappeared slowly beneath the surface of the water. A Beautiful send off

The urn did not break down. A day later it is still intact. Just garbage and very disappointing. It was a very upsetting thing to have happen. I do not recommend it.
