Description

The Biodegradable Natural Paper Mini Turtle Cremation Urn is hand crafted from recycled paper and produced in Haiti by skilled artisans. The purchase of a biodegradable turtle urn will contribute in a small way to the rebuilding of this devastated nation.

This urn is TSA approved and perfect for carry-on when traveling. The urn is constructed to clearly allow security screeners to view the contents of the urn.

Each water burial turtle urn will accommodate up to two or three tablespoons (5 cubic inches) of cremated remains and are designed to float briefly before sinking. Once the turtle sinks, it will biodegrade naturally over time. Can be used in the ocean, lake, river or ground. Although the turtle cremation urn is designed for water burial, it can also be used for earth burial.

Available in Natural and Newsprint designs. Since the turtles are crafted by hand, the size, shape and color of each may vary.
  • Dimensions: 9" W x 7" H x 2.5" D
  • Capacity: 5 Cubic Inches
  • Airline Travel Safe
    • Before being released into the water, this urn should be sealed with a non-toxic glue.
    • The Turtle Urn is designed to float briefly before gracefully sinking. Float times may vary depending on the weight of the cremated remains and the local water/weather conditions.
    • Includes a water-soluble plastic bag (into which the cremated remains MUST be placed) which dissolves on contact with water. This allows the cremated remains to be dispersed quickly and the urn to remain submerged.

    Scattering ashes at sea. The federal Clean Water Act requires that cremated remains be scattered at least three nautical miles from land. If the scattering urn or container will not easily decompose, you must dispose of it separately. The EPA does not permit scattering at beaches or in wading pools by the sea. You must notify the EPA within 30 days of scattering ashes at sea.

    The Clean Water Act also governs scattering in inland waters such as rivers, lakes and ponds. For inland water burial, you may be legally required to obtain a permit from the state agency that manages the waterway.

    Urn Sizing

    Follow These Rules To Better Determine The Size Of The Urn You Need

    Please Note: When we refer to "healthy" weight, we mean a weight prior to any illness that may have resulted in weight loss, if applicable.

    1. In order to hold all of your loved one's ashes you'll need to know the approximate healthy body weight of the person or pet you are shopping for.

    2. One pound of healthy body weight will yield just less than 1 cubic inch of ash.
      Assume for shopping purposes that: 1 pound of healthy body weight = 1 cubic inch ash
      .
      Easy example: A cremated 100 pound person (healthy weight) will yield almost 100 cubic inches of ashes. So, if 1 pound = 1 cubic inch, you will need an urn that is approximately 90-100 cubic inches or larger.

    3. There are a lot of other factors that play into how much cremains (ashes) you will actually receive from the crematorium. Cremated remains can vary in amount due to different cremation processes, temperature variations and the bone structure of the decedent. Because of that we can't guarantee 100% of the time that an urn will be large enough but if you follow these rules, or call us to discuss, 99.95% of the time we'll be right on.

    4. Buy an urn at least slightly larger than you need to avoid having the urn be too small for the ashes. Urn capacity can only be too small. You can use any size urn that holds more than you need.

    5. Keepsake Cremation Jewelry is designed to hold a trace amount of ashes, similar to the size of a ball-head sewing pin.
