June 21st is National Seashell Day! It is celebrated annually on the first day of summer to coincide with the summer solstice and is meant to encourage ethical shelling, a practice that reminds beach combers to be mindful and take care of marine life.
At Passages International, we apply those same values to our water burial products, like The Shell Urn. Like shells on the beach, each Passages Shell Urn is unique, all hand painted with care with no two exactly the same. They're made with molded recycled paper, paper clay, and water based paints that all dissolve in a matter of hours. Its one of the ways Passages helps families lay their loved ones to rest in a way that respects the aquatic environment and its inhabitants.
