Cremation with Ecological Urns: A Sustainable Farewell

At Funeraria Celis, we understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is a deeply personal and emotional process. For many families, the environmental impact of the farewell has become a meaningful consideration. That’s why we proudly offer ecological urns for cremation, allowing you to honor your loved one while also giving back to nature. Our eco-friendly urns provide a sustainable option, making it possible for the remains of your loved one to reintegrate naturally into the Earth or sea. Below, we introduce the three unique urns offered at Funeraria Celis: Nú Urn, GEOS Urn, and Samsara Urn.

Nú Urn: A Graceful Farewell to the Sea

The Nú Urn is designed specifically for ocean farewells. Crafted from sea salt and plant-based binders, this urn dissolves in water within 5 to 7 minutes, leaving no harmful residue. Its spherical shape, with a 22 cm diameter, makes it easy to carry and symbolic of the circle of life. During a sea farewell, the urn gently dissolves, releasing the ashes into the water. One of the most significant benefits of this process is that the calcium present in the ashes aids in regenerating coral reefs, offering a lasting, positive impact on marine ecosystems.

For families who feel a deep connection to the ocean, this urn is a beautiful and symbolic way to say goodbye, knowing that your loved one’s remains are contributing to the health of the sea.

GEOS Urn: A Return to the Earth

The GEOS Urn is made from plant-based substrates, minerals, and compost, making it ideal for terrestrial farewells. Whether the ashes are buried in a forest, garden, or alongside a tree, the GEOS urn reintegrates with the soil within 1 to 7 months, depending on soil moisture. This urn is particularly well-suited for those who wish to nurture new life, as ashes contain essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which promote plant growth.

For those who want to celebrate the cycle of life, the GEOS urn offers a serene return to the Earth, helping to cultivate new life through the growth of trees and plants. This connection to nature makes the GEOS urn a fitting choice for individuals who cherished the outdoors or wished to be part of the natural world.

Samsara Urn: A Final Gift to Waterways

The Samsara Urn is specifically designed for use in rivers, lagoons, and estuaries. Constructed from sand and plant-based binders, it shares the same dissolution time as the Nú urn, taking only 5 to 7 minutes to break down in water. Once dissolved, the ashes are released into the water, and their nitrogen and phosphorus content nourishes phytoplankton. These tiny organisms help increase chlorophyll levels, enhancing the health of aquatic ecosystems.

This urn is an ideal choice for families who have strong connections to rivers or lakes. The Samsara Urn allows the remains of your loved one to enrich these ecosystems, symbolizing a final gift to nature.

The Eco-Friendly Advantage

Ecological urns present a unique and meaningful way to say goodbye to your loved ones. By choosing an urn that reintegrates into the natural environment, you are not only honoring the memory of the deceased but also making a positive environmental impact. Whether it’s contributing to the regeneration of coral reefs, helping trees flourish, or nurturing aquatic life, these urns ensure that your loved one’s final journey is a harmonious part of the natural world.

At Funeraria Celis, we believe in providing choices that reflect the values and beliefs of each family. Our eco-friendly urns offer a sustainable alternative to traditional urns, allowing families to commemorate their loved ones in a way that aligns with a deep respect for nature. If you’re considering an ecological farewell for your loved one, we invite you to explore our selection of Nú, GEOS, and Samsara urns. Each urn represents a respectful and thoughtful tribute that helps preserve the planet for future generations.
