⚱Biodegradable Urns⚱

Biodegradable urns are becoming an increasingly popular choice for families seeking an eco-conscious alternative.

A variety of biodegradable urns is available for both water and land burials, crafted using environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and materials. These urns are composed of natural organic substances such as sand, salt, gelatin, corn starch, biodegradable recycled paper, and bamboo.

These natural options are designed to gradually release the ashes as the urn slowly biodegrades over time. Ultimately, all components are absorbed back into the soil or water, returning to nature without leaving any toxic residues.

Natural burial urns and water urns are also suitable for both short- and long-term storage of ashes.

Whether you are considering a water burial or a more traditional land burial, there are beautiful, environmentally friendly options available for you.

For more information about the available options, please contact us at 0161 428 2097 or adminteam@jasfunerals.co.uk. Funeral Supplies

🫶Today is International Self-Care Day🫶

International Self-Care Day is celebrated annually to encourage individuals to prioritise self-care as a foundation for overall health and wellness.

This day is a gentle reminder to integrate self-care into your daily routine, encompassing physical, mental, and emotional elements of well-being.

Self-care looks different for each person, so finding what works best for you is key.

Given that bereavement and grief can significantly impact all areas of your health, consider using today as an opportunity to make a Self-Care Promise - commit to small actions that prioritise your health and well-being.

Be kind to yourself.
