Memorial Capsule
This biodegradable pet urn is designed to provide a gentle and continuous farewell. Inspired by Japanese home memorial traditions and natural burials, it offers a sustainable way to honor life. The two-part structure with a threaded lid secures ashes for display or burial, while a small charm remains with the owner as a keepsake. Crafted from bioplastic with powdered oyster shells, the urn naturally returns to the earth. Its matte finish and soft contours invite touch, offering comfort and rituals during grief.
