The Appropriate Size Of Urn That We Should Buy

Choosing the right size urn is important to ensure it can adequately hold the cremated remains of your loved one. Here’s a guide to help you determine the appropriate urn size: Understanding Urn Sizes Standard Calculation: The general rule is that you need one cubic inch of urn space for every pound of body weight before cremation. For example, a person who weighed 150 pounds would need an urn with a capacity of at least 150 cubic inches. Types of Urns and Their Sizes Standard Adult Urn: Capacity: Typically between 180 to 220 cubic inches. Use: Suitable for most adults. Example: A person weighing 200 pounds would need an urn of approximately 200 cubic inches. Companion Urn: Capacity: Generally around 350 to 400 cubic inches. Use: Designed to hold the ashes of two individuals, often a couple. Example: Can be divided internally or designed as two separate compartments. Keepsake Urn: Capacity: Usually 1 to 20 cubic inches. Use: Holds a small portion of the ashes, ideal for sharing among family members or for keeping a small memento. Example: A small keepsake urn may hold a teaspoon to a cup of ashes. Child or Infant Urn: Capacity: Varies based on the child's weight, generally much smaller than adult urns. Use: Specifically sized for infants and young children. Example: A child weighing 20 pounds would need an urn of at least 20 cubic inches. Pet Urn: Capacity: Varies based on the size and weight of the pet. Use: Designed for pets, from small animals to larger pets like dogs. Example: A dog weighing 50 pounds would need an urn of approximately 50 cubic inches. Special Considerations Shared Remains: If the ashes are to be divided among multiple family members, smaller keepsake urns or jewelry might be appropriate, in addition to a primary urn. Biodegradable Urns: If you plan on a green burial or scattering at sea, consider the size requirements of biodegradable urns, which might be slightly different. Display Considerations: Consider where the urn will be displayed. Ensure the size is appropriate for the intended display location. Personalization and Design: Urns come in various shapes and designs which can affect the internal capacity. Always check the volume capacity specified by the manufacture.
