Honor your beloved family member with our beautiful biodegradable turtle urn, designed to resemble a realistic sea turtle. Each urn is uniquely hand-painted by our studio members, ensuring that every piece has its own character while still resembling the images provided. The turtle's shell features a blend of green, red-brown, and ivory tones, with expressive brown and black eyes, and mottled dark brown flippers.
You can further personalize your urn by adding special text to the flippers. The first flipper's customization is included, while a second flipper can be customized for an additional $20. Please allow 5-7 days for this customization; if you have a memorial service planned, kindly share the date with me to ensure timely delivery.
Designed specifically for water burial, this turtle urn floats for a brief period before gently sinking and naturally biodegrading over time. The duration of floating may vary based on factors such as the weight of the ashes, weather, and water conditions.
Handcrafted in Mexico using recycled paper and plant-based glue, this urn is 100% biodegradable and safe for marine life. By choosing this urn, you not only create a beautiful tribute for your loved one but also support artisans with fair wages, preserving traditional craftsmanship. Choose our sea turtle biodegradable urn for a heartfelt and eco-friendly farewell.
The turtle is an ancient and powerful image, one of the oldest symbols for Mother Earth in Native American teachings, and one of the four Celestial Guardian Animals in feng shui. In the Far East, the sea turtle, living on both land and in water, was believed to unite heaven (round shell) and earth (square underside).
