Compare Cremation Urn Sizes & Capacities
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZED URN FOR YOUR LOVED ONE'S REMAINS
The cremains of an average human adult will require 100 to 180 cubic inches, depending on their weight. When calculating the size urn that you'll need for your loved one's ashes, consider that one pound of body weight equals one cubic inch (CU) of volume. For example, the ashes of a 130 pound woman will require an urn with at least 130 cubic inches of volume capacity for the cremains.
The ash capacities of our urns range from approximately 65 to 250 cubic inches. If you have concerns about whether our urns have enough capacity, prior to purchasing we recommend you ask your funeral home or crematory to help you estimate the size urn you will need.
