About our urns
Our wool and willow urns are something we can provide for natural burial of ashes, in case you’re not able to provide ashes in a biodegradable container. With natural burial we use only natural, biodegradable materials, avoiding plastics, metals and chemicals: it’s an essential part of the approach. If you are able to provide ashes in a biodegradable urn with details of material construction, we may be able to work with what you have. The urns we provide are beautifully and sustainably made in the UK and 100% biodegradable.
