Scatter Tubes for Ashes

Scatter tubes are purpose-made, biodegradable containers designed for the controlled release of cremated ashes during a scattering ceremony. Their tall, slim shape makes scattering far easier and more dignified than tipping ashes from a traditional urn.

Most scatter tubes are made from recycled card or natural plant fibres and break down naturally if buried or placed in water. They suit any scattering setting: at sea, in a river, in mountains, in gardens, or in places of personal meaning.

Each tube is sized to hold the full ashes of an adult, with smaller "keepsake" sizes available for sharing portions between family members or for partial scatterings. All our scatter tubes are designed for single-use, eco-friendly release.

If you're new to scattering, our complete scattering ashes guide covers the legal rules, common locations, and the practical mistakes families most often regret.
