Indoor Living Urn FAQ

How does it work?

The Indoors Living Urn has a special separated outer chamber within the urn to hold and securely contain the cremated remains of your loved one. The inner chambers hold the Bonsai Tree or houseplant and growing medium. Instructions are provided to distribute a small amount of cremated remains into the growing medium. All you have to do is choose your Bonsai Tree or plant that you wish to place inside and follow the easy instructions provided. The ceramic lid will enclose everything for a lovely, finished look.
