Biodegradable Salt Urn – Oceanus Algae

Introducing the Biodegradable Salt Urn – Oceanus Algae

Oceanus Algae is a certified biodegradable salt urn for ashes, meticulously handcrafted from soluble salt and natural organic materials. It combines the crisp white of salt with the subtle green tones of algae.

The algae particles used are naturally occurring in marine ecosystems and are harmless to the ocean environment. Oceanus Algae is made from sustainably harvested Ulva seaweed from the Spanish Mediterranean Levant, helping to minimise the carbon footprint of the marine industry.

Please note that the central pattern and lid may vary slightly in shade and can appear lighter or more delicate than shown in the photos. This is due to the natural characteristics of Ulva seaweed and the handcrafted nature of each piece, individually made by artisans rather than industrially manufactured.

About the Oceanus Algae

Many families choose to hold a ceremony in a picturesque coastal setting to scatter their loved one’s ashes. During the ceremony, scattering petals enhances the moment, creating a visually meaningful and deeply respectful water burial while adding a gentle touch of beauty. Afterward, you can gently release the urn at your chosen location as you lay your loved one to rest. Within minutes, the urn dissolves, allowing the ashes to gracefully merge with the water.

The Oceanus Algae urn offers an ideal, eco-friendly choice for water burials. Its elegant debossed pattern symbolizes the natural cycle of life, beautifully reflecting the eternal rhythm of birth, life, and rebirth.

A sea scattering ceremony offers a profoundly moving way to honour and celebrate a loved one’s life. The vast ocean provides a serene and powerful backdrop for remembrance. As the waves carry the ashes and the seagulls soar above, the moment transforms into a lasting and heartfelt farewell.

Oceanus Algae has a 3-litre capacity and suits ashes of a body weight up to 83 kg (183 lbs).
