Providing the most comprehensive collection of sustainably produced & biodegradable urns, caskets, and memorial products. was founded in 1999, as the now rapidly growing trend for greener funerals was at its earliest stage. While many companies now offer some green funeral merchandise, Passages is dedicated to providing sustainable choices. We design and produce many of our own products, and stand

behind them. Our quality and service are unsurpassed. The breadth of our offerings is unavailable anywhere else. We began the company by providing affordable and environmentally friendly options for families who chose to have a more eco-conscious ritual for their loved ones. Our urns offered an alternative to the cardboard and plastic box containing a loved one’s cremated remains that was typically given to grieving families who did not select an urn. Passages creates and distributes the best quality products, produced without cutting down trees. In addition, most of our products are crafted by hand from sustainable or recycled resources, using antique molds and centuries old techniques. We use recycled cardboard boxes with biodegradable peanuts for packing and shipping, and are proud to support several conservation organizations dedicated to preserving our pristine planet for future generations. Passages is a family owned and operated business, and we have over 75 years of combined service to the funeral industry. Our family has been serving the funeral needs of communities in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado for almost 50 years. We are proud to be approved by Green America as a socially and environmentally responsible business. We are also a member of the Green Burial Council, an organization working to make burial more meaningful, simple, and sustainable, and have been a member since their inception. We offer by far the greatest variety of product that has been approved by the Green Burial Council

A growing number of people are looking for greener funeral options. Passages offers the most complete selection of sustainably produced and biodegradable urns, caskets, and memorial products. We are dedicated to offering personalized options to families who desire environmentally friendly choices for their end-of-life rituals.

Nearly forty percent of families who choose cremation are looking to scatter their loved one's remains. Our Shell Urn is lovingly handcrafted from recycled and biodegradable materials and designed for a serene and symbolic natural scattering experience. Water slowly seeps into the vessel, allowing it to float briefly before gently sinking as families say their goodbyes. Free from plastics and toxic materials, The Shell is an environmentally responsible way to honor both the departed and the Earth, breaking down quickly within hours after placement in the deep water. It comes in 4 colors and can accommodate two sets of remains for deeply personal and intimate ceremony.

Today, on World Pet Memorial Day, we honor the companions who filled our lives with unconditional love, loyalty, and countless cherished memories. 🐾❤️

Pets are more than animals, they are family. They greet us at the door, comfort us through difficult times, and leave paw prints on our hearts that last forever. As we remember the beloved pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge, we celebrate the joy they brought and the special bond that never truly fades.

Our biodegradable pet urns and scattering tubes are designed to help families honor these treasured companions in a meaningful and sustainable way. Each includes a unique GEO-code that allows you to create a personalized online memorial on Etern.life, where memories, photos, stories, and a special place of remembrance can live on for generations.

We would love to hear how you honored a beloved pet. If you feel inclined to share, please leave a comment below.

The ocean connects us all.

Its waters sustain life, inspire wonder, and remind us that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. As more families choose scattering and water-based memorials, we've listened and responded by developing a growing collection of biodegradable water urns designed specifically for ocean, lake, and river memorials.

This shift reflects something meaningful: a desire to honor loved ones in ways that are personal, natural, and gentle on the environment.

On World Ocean Day, we're reminded that the choices we make today can help preserve these treasured waters for future generations. By offering sustainable memorial options, we're proud to help families create lasting tributes while reducing their environmental impact.

Because caring for our loved ones and caring for our planet can go hand in hand.

🌊 Happy World Ocean Day.

A family placed a biodegradable sea turtle urn into the ocean. Real sea turtles surfaced and circled nearby. That is the kind of moment no funeral home could plan, but a great product can make possible.

Passages International, Inc. - Green Funeral Products' Sea Turtle Urn just got three new color options (Dune, Moss, and Surf) giving families even more ways to personalize a water-based farewell. The urns are handcrafted, biodegradable, float briefly before descending, and now include a digital code to mark the exact scattering location and create an online memorial. For funeral homes looking to differentiate their merchandise with products that tell a story, this one delivers.

Sharing this because I had no idea it was an option but now I’m definitely going out like this…

After 9.5 years of battling cancer, my aunt, being the savvy woman she was, planned her own after life care.

She was cremated and put into a water biodegradable urn shaped like a sea turtle.

She asked a friend to charter her family out to spot off the coast where she was baptized.

After we all said goodbye, her daughters put her in the water.
Just like paperwork said, she floated for a bit, almost as though she was saying her final goodbye to us.
Slowly, she disappeared below the water.

It was beautiful and peaceful.
