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.

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.
