Size Guide

The size of the urn you will need will depend on the size of your loved one and the type of urn you choose. Here are some general guidelines to help you choose the right size urn:

• Standard adult urns: These urns typically hold the ashes of a person who weighed 250 pounds or less prior to cremation. Our keepsake urns have a 244 cubic inch ash capacity and are made of various types of wood.
• Child and infant urns: These urns are smaller than adult urns and are designed to hold the ashes of a child or infant. They have a capacity of 50-144 cubic inches and are made of the same materials as adult urns.
• Keepsake urns: A keepsake urn is a small urn that is designed to hold a small amount of ashes. Keepsake urns are usually much smaller than standard urns and are often used to divide the ashes of a loved one among multiple family members or to keep a small amount of ashes in a special place. Some people choose to use keepsake urns as a way to honor the memory of their loved one and to keep a small part of them close by. Keepsake urns are often used in conjunction with a standard urn, which holds the majority of the ashes.

It’s important to note that these are just general guidelines, and the size of the urn you need may vary depending on the type of urn you choose and the specific needs of your family. If you are unsure about the size of urn you need, it is always best to consult with a funeral director or a trusted resource to ensure that you choose an urn that is appropriate for your loved one.
