  According to the present invention, it is possible to simplify funerals underwater.

[Composition of antiques]
First, the structure of the underwater urn 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the shape of an underwater urn 1 for burying remains in the water according to the present embodiment. The shape of the underwater urn 1 is not particularly limited, and FIG. 1 shows, as an example, a substantially truncated cone having an upper surface 100, a lower surface 102, and a side surface 104. Further, the outer wall surfaces (upper surface 100, side surface 104, and lower surface 102) are constituted by an outer component 10 such as iron or concrete.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the underwater urn 1.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the underwater urn 1 includes a container body 12 and a lid 11. The container main body 12 has an accommodating portion 120 that accommodates a remains. The lid 11 is joined to the upper surface of the container body 12 and closes the space of the accommodating portion 120.
The lid 11 and the container body 12 are provided with a rope opening 110 penetrating from the upper surface 100 to the lower surface 102 so that the rope can pass through the center.
Further, the lid 11 and the container main body 12 are formed to have minute holes that allow communication from the outer wall surface (upper surface 100, side surface 104, lower surface 102) to the accommodating portion 120. The size of the micropores only needs to be such that water and minerals such as calcium dissolved from bone are passed through, but powdered remains are not passed through.

[Method of funeral]
Next, a method for burying pet remains with the underwater urn 1 having the above-described configuration will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, the remains of the cremated pet are powdered and stored in the storage unit 120. In addition, as a state of the remains stored in the storage unit 120, for example, a paste or a solid may be used in addition to the powder. Then, the lid 11 is joined to the container main body 12 so that the remains of the accommodating portion 120 are not released to the outside, and then the underwater urn 1 is submerged into the sea. In addition, the method of joining the lid | cover 11 to the container main body 12 is not specifically limited, For example, it joins by welding, adhesion | attachment, or tightening.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a method of sinking the underwater urn 1 into the sea.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, the underwater urn 1 is sunk into the sea through the rope 5 that connects the floating buoy 3 and the anchor 4 through the rope opening 110 formed in the lid 11 and the container body 12. As a result, the underwater urn 1 can be sunk in one direction using the rope 5 as a guide, as shown in the underwater urns 1A, 1B, 1C. Furthermore, the underwater antique urn 1 can be connected to each other in the water, as shown in the underwater antique urn 1A, 1B, by the connecting recess 122 on the lower surface of the container body 12.
In addition, depending on the number of underwater urns 1 that sink into the sea, various sizes of underwater urns 1 can be created, and fishing reefs that are sized according to the environment, such as sea depth and current, can be created. Is possible.

  Underwater antique urn 1 in seawater, water oozes out from the outer wall surface into container 120 due to the micropores communicating from the outer wall surface to container 120, and gradually becomes a mineral such as calcium from the remains that are immersed in water. Will begin to melt, and minerals such as calcium will spring out from the outer wall surface through the micropores.

  After that, minerals such as calcium springed out from the outer wall are decomposed or used as nutrients by aquatic organisms such as bacteria, and the underwater urn 1 becomes an environment in which algae and the like can be easily implanted, and has a function as a fishing reef. become.

[Modification 1]
Next, the modification 1 of the structure of the underwater urn 1 which concerns on the said embodiment is demonstrated.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the shape of the underwater urn 2 in this modification.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the shape of the underwater urn 2 has a substantially cylindrical shape having guide tube portions 202 </ b> A and 202 </ b> B on both side surfaces. The guide tube portions 202A and 202B are for sinking the underwater antique 2 through the rope in one direction in the sea, like the rope opening 110 of the underwater antique 1. Further, the outer shape component 20 constituting the underwater urn 2 may be iron, concrete, or the like, similar to the outer shape component 10. In addition, you may comprise the guide cylinder part 202 so that it may further have a connection mechanism for connecting with the other underwater urn 2. According to this connection mechanism, the plurality of underwater urns 2 can be connected in the horizontal direction.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state where the components of the underwater urn 2 are developed.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, the underwater urn 2 includes a lid 21, an inner container 23, and a container body 22. The inner container 23 has a storage portion that can store a remains as in the case of the underwater urn 1, and is a cover after storing the remains. Such an inner container 23 is accommodated in the container main body 22 and closed with the lid 21, whereby the underwater urn 2 of FIG. 4 is obtained.
Moreover, the inner container 23 has an accommodating part of a size according to the amount of remains to be accommodated therein. Specifically, a plurality of inner containers 23 having a certain size and different wall thickness that can be accommodated in the container main body 22 are prepared in advance, and the inner container 23 having a volume corresponding to the amount of remains to be accommodated is selected, and the container main body 22 is selected. To house. A plurality of contents 23 may be nested and accommodated in the container body 22 by keeping the thickness of the inner container 23 constant and changing the size of the outer diameter.

The configuration of the underwater urn 2 makes it possible to make the size of the underwater urn 2 constant regardless of the amount of remains to be accommodated. As a result, the underwater urn 2 can be uniformly accommodated in a space of a certain size, so that the efficiency in conveyance is improved.
The lid 21, the inner container 23 and the container body 22 are formed so as to have micropores that communicate from the outer wall surface to the accommodation portion, similar to the underwater antique 1, and melt from the contained remains in seawater. Minerals such as calcium come out from the outer wall.

[Modification 2]
Next, Modification 2 of the underwater urn 2 will be described.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the underwater urn 2 in Modification 2.
The underwater urn 2 of this modification has an expansion container 24 in addition to the container body 22 and the lid 21 as illustrated in FIG. 6. In the drawing, for convenience of explanation, the guide tube portion 202 provided in the container body 22 is not shown.
The expansion container 24 has a cylindrical shape having substantially the same diameter as the container body 22 and is made of iron or concrete. The wall thickness of the expansion container 24 is preferably substantially the same as that of the container body 22. Further, the upper and lower ends of the expansion container 24 have a connection mechanism (for example, a screw structure) for connecting to another expansion container 24 or the container body 22. Thereby, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a desired number of expansion containers 24 (in this example, two expansion containers 24A and 24B) are inserted between the lid 21 and the container body 22, and are connected to each other by a connection mechanism. Thus, the underwater urn 2 having a desired capacity can be produced.
As described above, according to the present modification, the underwater urn 2 of various sizes can be created by using the container main body 22 and the expansion container 24 in common.

[Other variations]
In the above-described embodiment, the method for burying the remains of pets has been described as an example of the method for burying remains of the remains. However, human bones and other animal bones may be powdered or paste-like to be housed in the housing 120 of the underwater urn 1. Or, it may be solid.
