There are many legal ways to preserve or dispose of cremated ashes. When it comes to burying a loved one at sea, however, there are a number of requirements that people must adhere to. Foremost among these is the use of biodegradable cremation urns. These are vessels that are safe to use in ocean waters. The natural environment will slowly break these structures down without causing any major harm to the surrounding ecosystem.

One reason that people find these options so appealing is that they are not bad for the environment. There are many toxins that cremated ashes can contain and this is actually why there are a lot of restrictions on how these can be disbursed. This is partially due to the embalming process that many people undergo before their viewing ceremonies are held. The body still contains the related embalming fluids when cremated and this means that these will also be present in the ashes.

Dental fillings and other synthetic additions to the body will be present in the ashes as well. This is why urns will need to be airtight and water tight when these are placed in the ocean. People can gain comfort from the fact that an urn will slowly erode away and the interior ashes will be gradually released.

Although these containers might seem like they are very basic in their design, they can actually be very ornate and attractive. There are a number of aesthetically pleasing options available. This means that you will be able to find both eclectic and traditional structures as well as a number of affordable products.

Green urn designs are not just for the disposal of ashes at sea. These can also be used for keepsake purposes or when hosting a more traditional burial service. Placing ashes in a conventional burial plot is not uncommon as this gives people a place to honor and visit their loved ones without having to pay the often exorbitant costs of more standard burial procedures.

One major factor in determining which option is going to prove best for your needs will be how you plan to inter or house the ashes. A lot of families purchase smaller plots for cremated ashes. Cemeteries often have these plots available in landscaped, garden areas.

An alternative to this form of burial is to have ashes placed in a columbarium. Columbariums are generally huge, vertical structures that contain a number of private niches. Ashes are stored in a niche that the family has purchased. Given the small sizes of these niches, however, consumers must take care to avoid urn designs that are too larger in size.

People will have a number of rules that they must follow when working with cemeteries. This can definitely be the case in terms of the burial containers that will be used. Cemeteries might push people to buy their own products, but this isn't something that they can require you to do. You have the right to work with the supplier of your choice and your funeral home or cemetery cannot penalize you for making this decision.
