Degradable Cat Urn Return

Our degradable mycelium cat urn offers a beautiful, environmentally conscious way to honor your cat's memory while supporting the natural cycle of life. Crafted from 100% natural mycelium—the remarkable root structure of mushrooms—each urn is individually grown rather than manufactured, making every piece uniquely meaningful, just like the bond you shared with your beloved companion.

The urn's organic form and warm, earthy appearance celebrate the natural world that your pet was a part of. Its subtle variations in texture and tone reflect the individuality of your cat and the special relationship you shared. Unlike traditional urns that remain unchanged for generations, our mycelium urn naturally breaks down when buried, typically decomposing completely within 4-6 weeks.

This gentle return to nature nourishes the surrounding soil, potentially supporting new life where your cat's remains rest—creating a living memorial that continues their legacy in an ecological way. Available in two sizes to accommodate pets of various weights, our mycelium urn offers a meaningful way to say goodbye while making a positive environmental impact—a tribute that honors their memory by giving back to the earth they loved to explore.

Our degradable mycelium cat urns are crafted from 100% natural and sustainable materials. The primary component is living mycelium—the vegetative part of fungi that forms an intricate network of thread-like structures—combined with agricultural byproducts.

This innovative biomaterial is heat-treated to stop the growing process at the perfect stage, creating a solid, stable form without using glues or synthetic binders. The result is a completely biodegradable product that's free from chemicals and plastics, with a minimal carbon footprint during production.

When in contact with soil or water, the urn naturally decomposes, releasing nutrients that enrich the surrounding environment. Each urn varies slightly in color and texture due to the natural growing process, reflecting the unique character of your relationship with your cat.

Filling your biodegradable mycelium cat urn is a straightforward process designed to be simple:

1. Gently remove the lid of the urn, which is designed to fit securely without requiring tools.
   
2. Pour your cat's ashes directly into the urn—the wide opening makes this easy without needing a funnel. There's room for small biodegradable mementos if you wish to include them.
   
3. For sealing, you have two options depending on your plans:

• If burying soon: Simply place the lid back onto the base without adhesive for optimal decomposition.
  
• If displaying temporarily: You may use a small amount of biodegradable adhesive, though we recommend avoiding adhesives when possible.

Remember that the mycelium urn is primarily designed for burial and will begin to deteriorate if exposed to moisture or high humidity. For display longer than a few weeks, keep it in a dry environment with minimal handling.
