Why Choose a Buddhist Urn?

When selecting a Buddhist Urn, it’s important to align with Buddhist values of compassion and mindfulness. The Buddhist Wheel Urn is made from non-toxic, recycled paper and painted with eco-friendly milk paints. It gently floats for a short time on water before sinking and naturally decomposing. Plus, it comes in a recyclable box for easy and discreet transportation. This makes it an ideal choice for those wanting to follow the Buddhist path of living in harmony with nature.

Buddhist Urns in Ashes Ceremonies

In Buddhist traditions, ashes ceremonies play a vital spiritual role. These rituals symbolise the end of one life and the beginning of another, representing the belief in reincarnation and impermanence. Using Buddhist Urns in these ceremonies honours your loved one while staying connected to these teachings.

1. Water Burial Ceremony with Buddhist Urns: Water is often used in Buddhist rituals to symbolise purity and the return of the body to nature. The Buddhist Wheel Urn is perfect for this, as it floats briefly before releasing the ashes gently into the water. This peaceful process allows for quiet reflection and connection with nature.
2. Land Burial Ceremony: For families preferring to bury the urn, Buddhist Urns like the Buddhist Wheel Urn naturally decompose over time, symbolising the body’s return to the earth. This aligns with the Buddhist understanding of life’s impermanence.
3. Almsgiving and Prayers (Dana): Buddhists often combine the ashes ceremony with Dana (charity and prayers) as an offering for the deceased’s soul. The Buddhist Wheel Urn can be an integral part of this ritual, providing a beautiful and symbolic urn for the ashes.
