Greetings from the deep blue sea! Every magazine I’ve picked up lately has a “green” theme, and more press releases touting the green burial movement, so we were inspired to amp up the biodegradable urn line.
Naturally, we’re dreaming of somewhere tropical right now, so we started work on the water burial urns.
Articles for families considering spreading ashes on land or sea, or perhaps planning an ash scattering ceremony can be found here.
We’ve noticed heavier traffic for families searching for outdoor themed urns, specifically hunting and fishing. Funeral homes might consider grouping urns by hobbies, interest and style if you aren’t already.
The modern concept of natural burial began in the UK in 1993 and has since spread across the globe. According the Centre for Natural Burial, http://naturalburial.coop there are now several hundred natural burial grounds in the United Kingdom and half a dozen sites across the USA, with others planned in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and even China.
The Centre for Natural Burial provides comprehensive resources and detailed information about natural burial sites around the world.
