Sustainability
Honouring a loved one shouldn't come at the expense of the earth. At Forever Urns, we are committed to providing environmentally conscious memorial options that gracefully return to nature. From rapidly renewable woods like Paulownia to 100% biodegradable water burial urns made from paper and corn starch, our sustainable collection uses natural materials such as bamboo, seagrass, and plant fibres. Explore our eco-friendly choices designed to perfectly honour both your loved one and the environment.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Memorial options designed using natural materials to honour the earth.
Natural & Renewable
People increasingly choose to bury the ashes of a loved one in a natural burial ground. To support this, Forever Urns offers a variety of urns crafted from natural, easily renewable materials such as plant fibre, paper, bamboo, seagrass, clay, and wool.
For our wooden caskets, alongside traditional oak and mahogany, we offer Paulownia a lightweight, sustainable, and incredibly fast-growing alternative to oak that beautifully preserves the look and feel of a premium wooden urn while heavily reducing environmental impact.
Water Burials
For those wishing to lay their loved ones to rest in a lake, river, or sea, our water burial urns offer the perfect solution. Crafted from highly sustainable materials like paper and corn starch, these urns allow you to safely submerge the ashes before gracefully biodegrading over a short time in the water.
Biodegradable Scattering
Scattering ashes at a favourite location or across the water is an increasingly popular choice. Our dedicated scatter tubes are completely biodegradable. They are engineered to release ashes smoothly and respectfully, leaving no harmful plastics or heavy metals behind in the environment.
To Display
We have a selection of ash caskets and decorative urns that have been specifically designed for keeping at home. These high quality items have a beautiful finish and can be displayed openly or kept in a private place. In time, the ashes can be buried, interred or scattered.
Interment
People often choose to bury the ashes of a loved one in a cemetery or natural burial ground. Forever Urns offer a variety of urns designed by various specialists from around the world using natural materials such as plant fibre, paper, bamboo, seagrass, wood, clay and wool.
Memorial
Our stone urns are beautiful garden pieces that seamlessly blend into their surroundings as well as options like flowers and saplings that can be planted in memory of a loved one. Water burial urns, made from sustainable materials like paper, allow you to submerge the ashes in a lake, river, or sea, whilst biodegrading and perfectly honouring the environment.
To Scatter
It is becoming increasingly popular to scatter the ashes of our loved ones, perhaps in a favourite location or across water. The scatter tubes are biodegradable and specifically designed to release the ashes smoothly, making it a simple and respectful process.
Keepsakes
These intricately made keepsakes come in a variety of styles and designs. They have been made in brass, copper, sterling silver and Vietnamese soft stone. Each one can hold a small amount of your loved one’s ashes and are ideal for sharing and displaying.
