Large Whale Urn

Elegant and eco-friendly, the Biodegradable Whale Urn offers a unique and meaningful way for families to honor their loved ones with an ocean farewell. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Mexico, each urn is made with care, supporting fair wages and sustainable craftsmanship. The urn is hand-painted in our studio using non-toxic, low VOC paint, ensuring both beauty and safety for the environment.

Designed to hold ashes for individuals up to 180 lbs (approximately 11 cups), this thoughtfully created urn floats briefly before gently sinking to naturally biodegrade over time. Whether chosen for a serene sea release or displayed as a stunning piece of art in your home, the Whale Urn gracefully preserves memories while embracing sustainability. It remains beautifully intact until it meets water and embarks on its peaceful journey.

Float time will vary depending on the weight of the ashes, weather, and water conditions. Federal guidelines require that cremated remains be scattered at least three nautical miles from land. *This urn was designed for ashes of an individual weighing 150-180 lbs; a smaller portion of ashes may result in longer float time.*

**IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A MEMORIAL SCHEDULED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW**. While we strive to ship within 1-3 business days, there are occasionally unforeseen delays. We appreciate your help to ensure your urn is received in the appropriate timeframe.

In many traditional cultures, the whale is embraced and revered for its connection to deep waters that parallel deep mysteries, wisdom, and knowledge hidden from view, referencing the unconscious mind. It is considered an ancient ancestor that travels through the sentient bodies of water that respond to positive and negative emotion. Whale spirit animals are considered guides to help us connect with our higher purpose -- our particular song, just as they sing -- that we might use for the greater good.
