Abstract: A dissolvable urn for the disposal of cremated remains. The urn is constructed of material which will dissolve when immersed in either water or salt water. This will prevent the urn from later washing ashore. The urn may be designed with sufficient mass and density so that it will sink upon being cast into the water so as to further reduce the possibility of the urn washing ashore. The urn may also be designed so that it is light enough to float and dissolves rapidly enough so that onlookers may observe the urn dissolving and the ashes spreading out upon the water without the necessity of opening the urn and sprinkling the ashes upon the water.
