Biodegradable Water Urn, Windsor
Designed for burial of ashes in water
I give her to the water
Hand-crafted from sustainably resourced material
I give her to the Thames
Adult dimensions 35.5cm x 31.5cm x 7.5cm
I give her to the Ganges
Urn supplied with a biodegradable water-soluble bag
I give her to the rivers of the world
Urn floats on the surface for about five minutes
I give her to let her go
Once below the surface, urn breaks down naturally
I find her everywhere

WINDSOR
The Thames is a popular choice for Hindu burials in the UK, as an alternative to the sacred flowing Ganges. Tranquil locations include Windsor, Richmond, Kingston-upon-Thames, and the Thames estuary at Leigh-on-Sea.
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead combines 1,000 years of history, contemporary shopping and fine dining with sports, leisure activities and events. Eton, Maidenhead and Bray and the smaller villages of the Royal Borough, such as Cookham, reflect that special character.
Explore the landscapes, the buildings and fine arts and crafts. And with 1,000 acres of National Trust land and 4,800 acres owned by the Crown Estate there’s plenty of places to enjoy the outdoors.
