Urn and a method for forming a body that comprises powdery mortal remains

摘要

A new type of urn has an inlet opening for water and an opening for the discharge of the water with powdery mortal remains, the opening being situated lower than the inlet opening. Ashes are introduced in the urn, for instance, in the form of a body comprising powdery mortal remains (ashes) and a binder, where the binder is selected from a water-soluble binder and an agent that disintegrates under the influence of water. The mortal remains are introduced into the earth under the influence of (rain) water. The invention also relates to a method for making such a body.
