Exclusive in Australia to Urns Online.

The Biodegradable Paper Turtles are crafted by hand from recycled paper bags and are produced in Haiti by skilled artisans.

The purchase of a turtle will contribute in a small way to the rebuilding of this devastated nation following the 2010 earthquake.

Each turtle will accommodate up to two or three tablespoons of cremated remains and are designed to float briefly before sinking. Once the turtle sinks, it will biodegrade naturally over time. Available in a natural design. Since the turtles are crafted by hand, the size, shape and color of each may vary. Ashes are loaded through the base and a small glue is supplied to seal the turtle before taking to the water or burying.

What Size Urn Do I Need?

Cremain quantities may vary due to differing techniques by crematoriums. Not all processes are identical and other factors may require allowances. If exact capacity of an urn is required we recommend you ask your crematorium or funeral director for precise information.

The capacity of a cremation urn relates more accurately to a loved one's height, sex, and age rather than body weight. The elderly and most children would need a smaller urn for ashes than a fully grown adult, regardless of their weight. There are exceptions such as varying cremation methods and some physical factors, but most adult's ashes will fit within an urn of 3.0 litre capacity or greater.
