A Better Death Begins Here
Death is a TURNING point, not the END. Meet biodegradable design burial urn - TURN.
Death is inevitable, but what comes next is a choice.TURN is about rethinking farewells - not as an end, but as a transition. Instead of leaving waste behind, your final act can give back to the earth. With the TURN burial urn, we offer a way to transform loss into regeneration - because even in death, we can choose to create life.
A New Way to Say Goodbye. A Better Way to Return.
TURN isn’t just an urn - it’s a regenerative act. Designed to nourish the earth, it transforms human remains into the foundation for new growth. Unlike traditional burials and cremations
Sustainable → No waste, no toxins, just nature.
Regenerative → Supports plant growth and soil health.
A Personal Tribute → Choose a meaningful place to create a living memorial.
TURN is built on the principles of biomimicry and regenerative science, ensuring a seamless return to nature. Unlike traditional burials and cremation, which leave long-term environmental footprints, TURN supports life cycles by enriching the soil with natural nutrients. Its dual-state design allows for both burial in natural environments and official placement in columbariums or memorial sites. Made entirely from natural materials, TURN fully decomposes if buried in soil over time, acting as a soil enhancer that improves plant growth and ecosystem regeneration.

Why We Started TURN & Who We Are
Our Story:
We believe death should be more than an ending. TURN was born from personal experiences of loss and the desire to offer a better way to say goodbye. We believe death should be more than an ending—it should be a transformation, a return to nature, and a contribution to life.
We are a team of four founders led by female leadership, driven by a shared vision to reshape how we think about endings. TURN is not just a product but a movement, designed to help people prepare, reflect, and make choices that align with their values and with the planet’s future.
