      Great container

      Beautiful container. I flew with my loved ones ashes in a plastic container and wanted something nicer that I could keep the ashes in until I am able to scatter them. The containers at the funeral home were not appealing to me and not ecological. The only drawback is that I thought I’d be able to transfer the ashes in the bag into this container but there is just a small hole (for scattering). I got in touch with customer service and they were great in advising me on how to transfer and then fly with the ashes. Great company.

      The Living Urns that I purchased are just what I was looking for.

      Options to Fit Your Needs
      Sizes

      We build three different sizes to meet your needs.  Each size was designed to fit well in the hand with the appropriate length and balance to make it easy to scatter.  Below find a simplified guide to help you choose the right size:

      Large– Designed to hold a ALL of the ashes of a loved one (or less if desired) (approx. 220 cu.in.). This is the right choice if you would like to scatter all or most of the ashes.

      Medium– Designed to hold about 1/2 of the ashes of a loved one (approx. 100 cu. In.). This is a good choice if you are splitting the ashes in two among family or friends or if you would just like to scatter a portion of the ashes.

      Small– Designed to hold about 1/4 of the ashes of a loved one (approx. 50 cu.in). This is a good choice if you are splitting the ashes among multiple family members or friends, or if you would just like to scatter a portion of the ashes.

      Biodegradable & Eco-Friendly

      This innovative scattering urn is made only from bamboo, a material known for its strength, light weight, and stunning appearance.  It’s also a sustainable resource and is considered one of the most eco-friendly building materials on the planet!

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How Does the Eco Scattering Urn Work?

      To load:

      1. Remove wood locking pin, then remove top
      2. Pour in cremated remains
      3. Place top back on and line up locking pin holes in the 'closed' position
      4. Place locking pin back in hole to secure top to base

      Then, travel to a favorite place with the cremated remains of your loved one securely placed in the urn without the risk of spilling out.

      To scatter:

      1. Remove wood locking pin
      2. Rotate top 180 degrees to the 'open' position
      3. Re-insert locking pin
      4. Wave urn away from your body to scatter

      Can I use the Eco Scattering Urn as a regular urn for years until I am ready to scatter?

      Yes, and this is very common. The Eco Scattering Urn can be used to scatter ashes right away or it can be used as a regular urn to hold ashes for as many years as you like before scattering. Although it is biodegradable, it will not biodegrade unless it is placed in the ground and exposed to soil and moisture. After scattering, you can keep it as a keepsake or repurpose it for other uses if you like. Or, since it is made of bamboo and biodegradable, it can be disposed in nature when you're finished scattering, if preferred.

      What if I want to combine two sets of ashes into one Eco Scattering Urn?

      The Large Eco Scattering Urn is designed to hold a full set of ashes (or less, if desired) with a volume of 225 cu. in. We have many families contact us interested in combining the ashes of a couple into a single Large Eco Scattering Urn. In this case, we recommend ordering two Eco Scattering Urns (size Large) and combine the ashes, so each urn has a portion of both sets of ashes. We also have a Family Program designed specifically for this need, where you can get a discount when ordering multiple urns (simply use code FAMILYPROGRAM at checkout for 15% off your order of multiple urns)

      Are scattering urns containing ashes TSA compliant?

      Most scattering urns that are made from bamboo, paper, or other biodegradable materials are TSA complaint and can be taken through security at an airport. This includes the Eco Scattering Urn and Eco Water Urn

      Does the age of ashes matter for scattering?

      No, ashes of any age can be scattered.

      Can I scatter ashes at multiple locations?

      Yes, many families choose to scatter the ashes of a loved one (or pet) at more than one meaningful or beautiful location and this is becoming quite popular. To do this, you can have multiple smaller scattering urns and use each one to scatter a portion of the ashes at a different place. Alternatively, you can use an urn such as the Eco Scattering Urn that enables you to scatter a portion of the ashes at one location, then re-secure the remaining ashes in the urn to scatter at another location or other locations.

      How do I load the ashes into a scattering urn?

      Many funeral directors or cremation service providers will load the ashes into an urn of your choice after a cremation is performed. If your loved one or pet was cremated weeks, months, or years ago and you want to transfer the ashes to a scattering urn from another urn or container, this is typically a simple and straightforward process. Most scattering urns come with step-by-step instructions on how to load ashes into the urn. If you find this to be a challenge, enlist a friend to help or reach out to your local funeral director.

      How can I scatter ashes?

      There are many ways to scatter ashes. This includes the following:


      Casting: with casting, ashes are scattered into the air and only travel a few feet from the person scattering. Be sure to check wind conditions prior to casting and always scatter downwind to avoid having the ashes blow back on you. One of the most popular scattering urns used in casting is called the Eco Scattering Urn and can be purchased online or at most funeral homes nationwide.


      Floating: This is often referred to as a water burial or scattering at sea and is becoming more and more common throughout the world. One of the most popular urns for this method is the patent pending Eco Water Urn.


      Trenching: with trenching, ashes are buried in the ground - many people will simply pour them in the earth or bury them in a biodegradable burial urn. Sometimes families will also scatter on the ground and use a rake to spread and bury.

      Is it legal to scatter ashes?

      There are very few laws in place throughout the U.S.related to scattering ashes. However, it is always recommended to check with state and also local city or county government offices to find out if there are any restrictions or regulations where you plan on scattering.


      If you plan on scattering in a National Park, be sure to check with the park ranger’s office to find out if any regulations exist and get a permit when necessary.


      If you plan on scattering at sea (commonly referred to as a water burial, or burial at sea), then it is important to understand the rules stipulated by the Federal Clean Water Act, which includes scattering ashes at least 3 nautical miles from shore and using biodegradable items in the scattering (in other words, do not leave behind a plastic or metal container). Also, it is required that the EPA is notified within 30 days of scattering ashes at sea.

      What is a scattering ceremony?

      Scattering ceremonies are services that families hold either before, during, or after a scattering occurs and typically take place at the location (or locations) where their loved one’s ashes are scattered. These are becoming more and more common throughout the U.S. and can be as formal or informal as a family prefers. This is a time when family and friends can come together and reflect on a loved one who passed. The ceremonies also commonly include having people who are present take turns scattering.

      What to say while scattering ashes?

      There are many beautiful quotes and other sayings that can be read before, during, or after a scattering is performed. Click here to see a list of some of the most common ones.
