Paper Turtles Child

Sea Turtle Biodegradable Urn

Paper Turtles are crafted by hand from recycled paper using non-toxic glues. The purchase of a turtle will contribute to the preservation of a traditional local art form. The skilled artisans producing these beautiful turtles are paid a fair wage in local workshop environments. The turtles are available in two sizes. An adult size that will accommodate a full set of human remains and a mini turtle that will accommodate up to two or three tablespoons of cremated remains. The turtles are designed to float briefly before sinking. The time that the turtle takes to sink will depend on the weight of the remains inside and local water conditions.

Once the turtle sinks, it will biodegrade naturally over time. The mini turtles are available in Natural and Newsprint, while the adult size is only available in Natural. Since the turtles are crafted by hand, the size, shape, and color of each may vary. Newsprint turtles will vary considerably in appearance and will contain legible newspaper prints. Produced in North America by skilled artisans.
