Shell, urn for burials at sea

‘Shell’ is an urn for burials at sea that celebrates the individual and thoughtfulness, regardless of religion.
The project builds on the humanistic burial ceremony that disregards religious tradition and instead focuses on Man’s role in Nature.The urn is made from pressed paper and dissolves in water over time. Messages for the deceased can be written on the surface of the urn and small objects and notes can be placed in a pocket at the top of the urn.
