The invention discloses a degradable environment-friendly cinerary casket material which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 70%-75% of corn starch, 15%-20% of sorbitol, 6%-10% of microcrystalline cellulose and 0.5%-1% of glycerol. The corn starch is used as a main material of the tank body, is a food material, is widely used for processing various foods, is affordable in price, and is mainly green and environment-friendly when being used for the product. Sorbitol is a food additive, is a wetting agent, a chelating agent and a stabilizing agent, and has the effects of preserving moisture, chelating metal ions, improving tissue fineness and preventing starch aging. The microcrystalline cellulose has the functions of moisture absorption, stable substances, lubrication, disintegration, binding and easy demolding. The glycerol has the effects of retaining water and being easy to demould. The defects that existing cinerary caskets are all made of wood, cannot be quickly degraded and are not
