Stylish Sea Burial

Sea Shell Urn

— February 7, 2008 — Eco
Some may feel that any talk of death or burial is cold and morbid, while others will see it as rebirth and rejuvenation, some look forward to it, while others try to outpace it with every lotion, potion and drug available. However, the result is that we will all be pronounced lifeless at some point in the future and there will be few better ways to be put to rest than a sea burial in the LOTS designed Shell Urn.

The idea that your spirit is released into the sea is a freeing and liberating thought, as opposed to others more constrictive ways one may think off. Designers have repeatedly shied away from new designs that may encroach on controversial issues in religion. The religious design dogma has been put to one side with the Shell Urn, and the sleek design has been coupled with biodegradable pressed paper to create an eco-friendly and dignified last stop.

The Shell Urn will dissolve completely in the sea, along with the messages from relatives and loved ones that have been written on the urn itself. The design is a creative one in a difficult area and a job well done and one that could attract a few new customers to the idea of a sea burial - though, I still have a slight issue with the burning-process before I get to the urn stage.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Burials - The Shell Urn offers a biodegradable and environmentally friendly option for those looking to have a sea burial.
2. Innovative Funeral Designs - The Shell Urn breaks away from traditional funeral designs and introduces a sleek and modern option for sea burials.
3. Personalized Funeral Elements - The Shell Urn allows for messages from loved ones to be written on the urn itself, offering a personalized element to the funeral process.
Industry Implications
1. Funeral and Burial Services - Funeral and burial service providers can offer the Shell Urn as a unique and modern option for sea burials.
2. Eco-friendly Products and Services - The Shell Urn can be marketed to eco-friendly companies and individuals as an environmentally conscious burial option.
3. Design and Manufacturing - Design and manufacturing companies can explore creating unique and personalized funeral products, similar to the Shell Urn, to offer more variety in the industry.
