Read our simple sizing guide

Start by taking some digital scales and the container of ashes that you would have received from the crematorium.
Place this box onto the digital scales and weigh the ashes.
If the ashes are contained in a poly-tub, remove 230g from the additional weight. If they are in a cremation box, remove 200g from the weight.
Our rule of thumb is that every kilogram of cremated remains equates to approximately 1 litre of ashes.
This means if you have 3 kilograms of cremated remains you will need to purchase an urn of between 3-4 litres in capacity.
We have products to suit all needs, available from 0.025 litre through to 8 litre capacities.

How to use the Bios Urn:

Fill the lower capsule with the ashes of a loved-one.
Mix the components with the chosen seed in the upper capsule.
Close the urn and plant it 3 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inches) from the surface of the soil.
The Bios Urn and ashes become part of nature as the tree grows.
