A natural alternative to paper scattering tubes, designed for a peaceful and controlled farewell. The Natural Bamboo Scattering Urn offers a beautiful, environmentally conscious way to carry and scatter a loved one’s cremated remains. Crafted from natural bamboo, this lightweight scattering urn combines the warmth and appearance of wood with a simple design created specifically for scattering ashes. Unlike traditional recycled-paper scattering tubes, this urn is constructed from natural bamboo, making it an ideal choice for families seeking a durable, plant-based and biodegradable scattering vessel. The Large 220 cubic inch capacity is designed to accommodate approximately one full set of adult cremated remains. Why Families Choose the Bamboo Scattering Urn Natural bamboo construction Approximately 220 cubic inches Designed to accommodate a full set of adult cremated remains Biodegradable and eco-friendly Lightweight and comfortable to hold during a scattering ceremony Designed specifically for controlled ash scattering Natural birch-wood locking pin Suitable for meaningful land or water scattering ceremonies where permitted TSA-compliant construction for travel Natural appearance without the look of a traditional urn Can remain intact indoors until you’re ready for the ceremony Designed Specifically for Scattering Ashes A scattering urn is different from a traditional cremation urn. Rather than simply storing cremated remains, its shape and opening are designed to make the scattering process easier and more controlled. The bamboo construction provides a comfortable shape to hold while the locking-pin system helps keep the urn securely closed until you’re ready. How to Use the Bamboo Scattering Urn 1. Fill the urn Carefully place the cremated remains inside the bamboo urn and secure the lid. 2. Secure it for transport The natural birch-wood locking pin helps keep the urn closed while it is being carried or transported. 3. Choose your memorial location The urn can accompany you to a meaningful outdoor location such as a memorial garden, family property, forest, mountain, shoreline or another permitted scattering location. 4. Prepare the urn for scattering When you’re ready, position the urn securely and use the locking mechanism to access the scattering opening. 5. Scatter slowly and intentionally Hold the urn away from your body and release the cremated remains gradually. When scattering outdoors, always consider wind direction and local conditions. The urn may also be re-secured if only a portion of the cremated remains is being scattered at one location. A Natural Alternative to Paper Scattering Tubes For families who appreciate biodegradable scattering options but prefer something other than recycled paper or cardboard, bamboo offers a beautiful alternative. Bamboo is lightweight, strong and renewable while maintaining a simple natural appearance appropriate for green and nature-centered memorial ceremonies. When kept indoors and dry, the urn can securely hold cremated remains until the family is ready for the scattering ceremony. Its biodegradable qualities become relevant when the urn is intentionally returned to the earth or exposed to natural conditions. Capacity Large — approximately 220 cubic inches Designed to accommodate all or most of the cremated remains of one adult. Actual cremated-remains volume varies from person to person, so families who are unsure about capacity are welcome to contact Eco Casket Co. before ordering. Air Travel The natural bamboo and birch-wood construction can be X-rayed and is designed to be TSA-compliant for air travel. Requirements for transporting cremated remains can vary by airline, destination and country. We recommend carrying cremated remains in accordance with current TSA and airline requirements and confirming your airline’s policy before travel. Land & Water Ceremonies This bamboo scattering urn can be used to assist with scattering cremated remains over land or water where legally permitted. Always check the rules for the specific cemetery, park, private property, shoreline, waterway or other location before conducting a scattering ceremony. A Simple Return to Nature For some families, the vessel carrying a loved one’s ashes should reflect the same values as the final farewell. The Natural Bamboo Scattering Urn provides a simple way to carry, protect and ultimately release cremated remains while choosing a renewable natural material instead of plastic, metal or conventional permanent urn materials.
