Biodegradable urns are increasingly popular as environmental concerns become more widely acknowledged. Shine On Brightly, of course, offers artist-made bio urns that are made by hand from natural fibers found in plants.

Biodegradable urns are the perfect vessels for green burials, which are currently on the rise worldwide.The natural fibers break down through a  process that is compatible with the earth. Sea scatterings are also a popular end-of-life ritual that lend themselves to a biodegradable container. Many people also bring the ashes of a loved one to a beautiful river or lake for a ceremony. These containers dissolve in approximately 4-5 hours, thus providing a natural ritual for end-of-life honoring.
