Earth Memorials Biodegradable Urn for Human Ashes (The Lily) Water Burial, Floats in Water for Cremation, Ocean Scattering for Ashes, Adult Size W-301

We followed the instructions and this worked really well. It floated for about 10 minutes and then dropped down, it was a neon blue color under the water that was really beautiful. We actually had a funeral home transfer the remains into the bag that came with this so we didn’t have to. They packed it loose enough to perfectly fit into the vessel. It’s more of a shallow dish like a pasta bowl shape. We glued it and clipped it the night before then transported it in the box it shipped in to the boat. It was beautiful.

Perfect! Just what my father wanted. I can't tell you how amazing this urn was. It was absolutely the right choice. We chose this urn because we read about horror stories when scattering ashes and we didn't want to come in contact with them. The price was the same as most of the options at the mortuary. This urn float for just about 1 minute and then sank. We threw flowers and it was just beautiful. We took it to the mortuary and they had no problem following the directions. At first we worried about taking off the clips that hold the top in place but they are to set the glue and I had no problems carrying it. The top did not come off. When we were ready we just popped the clips off, the crew opened the entrance door and I layed on the deck to gently lay it on a wave. Beautiful experience!

My husband wanted to be scattered in the ocean. After quite a bit of indecision, i finally chose this lily. It is much prettier in person. Our family took turns decorating it with meaningful drawings that reminded us of who he was. We filled the biodegradable inner bag ourselves. The directions say to use all the glue, which seemed a bit excessive. When you apply clips, the glue oozes out from between the plates and is somewhat messy. Also the package does not indicate how long it takes to dry. We assembled it the night before, and it wasn't dry the next morning, which caused some concern. We chartered a sailboat and released it three miles from shore. It was a short drop from the boat into the ocean. Despite the wet glue, it survived the drop without coming apart. We had placed flowers on top, and it rode the waves as The Blue Danube Waltz played in the background. It floated aound twenty minutes before starting to disintegrate. It was a beautiful farewell to a life well lived. I was pleased with the flower urn, and would recommend it.

My father and I were going on a long ocean cruise.....this product was beautiful, well packaged and very well documented in terms of instructions etc. It was too big for our needs. It was 18x18 when I thought I was 8x8. My mom loved lilies and gardenias and this would have been perfect....Just not for this trip - we will do something else after the cruise. Good product, lovely in fact. I feel bad for returning it but ya know.

The urn enabled us to have a beautiful ceremony without the risk of the ashes floating on the surface to be run over by a passing boat. It floated for 1 minute without change and then the bottom part with the ashes gently released the ashes and the bottom “bowl” (the part that is glued to the lily top) to the bottom of the lake. The top lily portion stayed afloat as we hugged each other and then it slowly broke apart and sunk. This product is a beautiful piece of art that functioned perfectly.

This Lily at Peace urn is really beautiful. This is the way to go for scattering ashes in water. It’s a very peaceful and memorable way. We followed the instructions carefully for placing the ashes inside and prepared the urn the night before. We had a float time in excess of 15 minutes. Can’t recommend this item enough! We placed flowers on top of the urn and it was really stunning to have the flowers begin floating around the urn.

First of all….this is absolutely beautiful! This is a work of art! When I first received it I was very pleased and felt this would be a beautiful way to honor my fathers wishes. I felt it would be ceremonial and far more elegant than just dumping his ashes in the water. My sister and I followed the directions word for word. We knew it might only float for one minute but we chose very calm waters and hoped that maybe we might get closer to the 5 minutes of the 1-5 minutes of float time noted in the description. I’m very sad to say that the entire thing sunk immediately. I mean IMMEDIATELY. It was beyond disappointing. There was no beautiful drifting away…. it just sunk. The top piece separated and broke off and the bottom part sunk. ZERO float time. It was the opposite of what we had envisioned. Of course it’s frustrating to have spent a significant amount of money on this, but had it worked it would have been well worth it because it definitely is hand made and beautiful. The more disappointing thing was that we didn’t get that beautiful intentional moment of our father being set out for his final sail in a ceremonial moment. We were so exact on following the directions and this moment can’t be redone. I’m still struggling to make peace with it. Very sad and very disappointed.

We had to order 3 of these for our family members and dogs who died in an accident- we got one The Lily, one Lily and Peace, and one Burgundy Lily (this one was more light green than yellow, as I'd expected by the picture, but still really pretty and not as green as The Lily). They were beautiful. Filling the inside bag with the ashes was a little bit tricky, but otherwise it worked out well. We put one person and one dog in two of them, then just the 3rd person alone in the 3rd one. We were worried that with the extra weight, they might sink like a rock, but they did not. The water had a little movement, and I think they would have floated longer if it were GLASS or completely still, but they still all floated a bit before sinking and or breaking apart as they were sinking. Here is a video of one of them (this was "Burgundy Lily") with the million sparkles on the water - it really was beautiful and peaceful way to do this.

Product is very unique and is as described. I hope that I don't have to use it for a long time.

This urn was perfect for my mother water burial, the flower was beautiful when all was prepared, it glued good, everyone put a flower on top, and we placed or in the ocean with the urn full of flower and we watch her leave for her next life…was beautiful and this urn made it possible.

This works as described. Its a very nice urn. We each laid a fresh flower on top before we set it sail and once it sunk, about 2 min, the fresh flowers dispersed out into the water. Beautiful.

I ordered this for myself. When I opened it, it was a piece of art. Absolutely gorgeous. I have shown this piece off to many friends an family. My only concern, and I could be completely wrong - is the bowl in the middle big enough for all of the remains? I will have to ask an expert.

Was perfect , elegant and so well made
