Passages Expands Cornstarch Urn Collection

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (August  2015) – Passages International, leaders in environmentally-friendly and green funeral products, is pleased to announce the return of our Floral Green and Red Rose cornstarch urns and the addition of a White cornstarch urn.

The Passages® Collection of Cornstarch Urns is made from durable and environmentally-friendly cornstarch. They feature a secure “snap lock” closing mechanism that permanently closes the urn. The urns can be kept at home, or placed in a cemetery niche or columbarium, since they will not biodegrade or deteriorate unless buried. When buried in earth, the urns will biodegrade completely over time. (The time taken to biodegrade will vary depending on local soil conditions).

Each urn is hand painted and includes a biodegradable bag for the cremated remains to be placed in prior to closing the urn. Each urn comes in a convenient carry box that can be used for discreet and convenient transportation. Personalized engraving is available on the Cornstarch Urns.

Since 1999, Passages International, Inc. has led the funeral industry with the largest selection of innovative and environmentally-friendly urns, caskets and memorial products.
