The urn consists of five components:

Bamboo pouch
-
Bamboo lid
-
Cotton drawstring bag

Twine for securing the pouch and lid

Transferring the Ashes
- Prepare the area – put a large piece of paper down (just in case any ashes are spilt). Place the new urn and your temporary ashes container within reach.
-
Undo the twine and remove the lid from the urn. Ask a friend to hold the urn upright for you.
It is easier to transfer ashes with the cotton bag still in the bamboo pouch and folded open.
-
Undo the box or container the ashes are currently stored in and carefully pour them into the cotton bag. If any ashes have been spilt pick up the paper and fold in half and use to pour the remaining ashes into the urn.
Once all ashes are transferred, pull the drawstring tight, tie in a knot, tuck inside the bamboo pouch and replace the lid. -
Lay the twine out in a straight line on a flat surface, place they urn in the middle of the twine and wrap the twine around the urn. When the twine meets cross the twine and move to the top and bottom of the urn.
Turn the urn over and bring the two ends together, tying into a bow. The urn is now sealed with the ashes secure inside.
When you are ready you can write a personal message on the heart tag and attach it to the twine.
