Biodegradable and environmentally friendly urns
By Carlos Callizo Castro, SORTEM, Spain
Choosing a biodegradable urn is an ideal choice for an aquatic farewell or a garden cemetery due to the fact that they are designed to activate their biodegradability and thus decompose naturally when in contact with water or soil moisture.
Sortem´s range of biodegradable eco-friendly urns is a perfect alternative for families that prefer to keep the ashes of their loved one as well as those who may choose to scatter them or bury them in a special place, or simply dissolve them in water.

Thus, the family can decide when is the right time to perform their special farewell ceremony.
