With this kind of natural burial<\/a>, the ashes are placed in a particular type of urn and then given to the water. The material will dissolve after a little time, allowing the ashes to be swept away by the natural water currents. This kind of funeral is also possible in Austrian rivers such as the Danube.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Many people find this type of funeral especially comforting owing to the close connection between the element of water and the concept of eternal freedom.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Each burial in the Lower Austrian section of the Danube requires a burial permit from the relevant district, which we will be pleased to obtain on your behalf.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>
