Biodegradable Urn
To a growing number of environmentally conscious people, "going green" sanctifies life. United Priority Distributors, a California company that offers memorials, urns, jewelry and caskets, believes it's also a compelling way to consecrate the passing of a loved one.
The company understands a key trend: More families seek to preserve farewell moments without the use of preservatives. These consumers seek an alternative to the hazardous waste produced by cemetery burials, which typically involve chemically treated wood and steel caskets, formaldehyde embalming fluid and concrete vaults.
To that end, UPD introduced a new line of biodegradable urns for ashes that's ideal for scattering and cremation burial ceremonies. The extensive collection includes urns of various shapes and themes, including several for "shared scattering" (splitting cremations so more than one person can share in the experience of scattering them).
"One goal was to make our new line of urns are not only biodegradable, but also beautiful and unique," says Susan Fraser, executive director of UPD. "Families have different budgets and tastes, so we strive to bring them the largest selection of urns for ashes available today, complete with excellent service and affordable prices." - http://www.inthelighturns.com/

The Peaceful Pillow, which is made of 100% biodegradable materials, is used for both land and water burials, or to scatter ashes.
