Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable

Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable

The Eco Burial BioUrn® is 100% all natural and biodegradable, made entirely from beautiful bamboo. Bamboo is a sustainable resource and happens to be one of the most environmentally friendly building materials on the planet! 

Although it is biodegradable, it will not biodegrade unless it is placed in the ground and exposed to soil and moisture. Therefore, it can be used to place your loved one in nature right away or it can be used as a regular urn to hold ashes for as many years as you like before finding a permanent resting place.

When it comes to biodegradable urns, the Eco Burial Urn has quickly become a top choice for funeral homes, cemeteries, cremation service provider and retail customers all over the U.S. The Eco Burial Urn is a biodegradable urn for ashes and it was developed for families interested in buying a biodegradable burial urn or a biodegradable urn for burying ashes. Not only is the Eco Burial Urn for cremation ashes a great choice as a bio urn to bury ashes, it is also often used as a bio urn to scatter ashes or a biodegradable scattering urn for ashes and this versatility is why it is growing in popularity all over the U.S. and abroad. 

The Eco Burial urn 100% biodegradable and all natural and is handmade from bamboo. This is one of the reasons it is the favorite biodegradable urn made from bamboo of choice for U.S. funeral homes. As a 100% bamboo piece, it is often referred to as a bamboo cremation urn or a biodegradable bamboo urn. We make the Eco Burial Urn out of bamboo not only because it is beautiful, strong, and light weight, but also because is a very environmentally friendly material. In fact, it is one of the most eco-friendly building materials available and is considered a sustainable resource because it grows back in such a short period of time after it is harvested. Being eco-friendly and beautiful has led to bamboo urns for ashes such as the Eco Burial urn being very popular.  So, what is an Eco Burial Urn? To answer this question, the Eco Burial Urn is a bamboo burial urn for ashes and can also be classified as a bamboo funeral urn in addition to bamboo scattering urn for ashes. Some people will even use Eco Burial to intern cremation ashes in a biodegradable urn tree cemetery or a Memory Forest where Living Urns are planted. The Eco Burial Urn may be used in this way when a person wants to bury ashes in a cemetery near a tree or bury a biodegradable urn under a tree instead of planting ashes with a Living Urn bio urn. The Eco Burial can be purchased on our website on Amazon. In addition, you can find Eco Burial at a funeral home near you all over the United States. Eco Burial is sometimes purchased in addition to other urns such as a Bio Urn for humans or a bio urn for pets or a biodegradable urn for pets and used as a keepsake to keep cremated remains permanently. One common question we hear is where can I buy a Living Urn or where can I buy a Bio Urn and when they see the Element Urns catalog they realize the Eco Burial Urn is a wonderful alternative or additional urn to keep some of the ashes permanently. Also, when families are searching for Living Urn cost or bio urn cost they may also choose the Eco Burial Urn as a less costly and simple biodegradable urn for ashes alternative. Eco Burial is often used as a traditional urn or a bamboo keepsake urn to permanently hold ashes because it will not biodegrade until it is exposed to soil and moisture in the ground. We also recommend the Eco Burial Urn for people that would like a cremation urn that you can bury.
