Cremation Urns - Size Guide:
"What size urn for human ashes do I need?"
This is one of the most popular questions people ask around cremation urns as unless you have had to purchase one before you simply wouldn't need to know anything about urn sizes and there is such a wide variety available.
When we consider cremation urn sizes it is the volume and not the outside dimension of the urn that are dominating factor as you want to ensure that all of the cremated remains can fit inside the urn. The volume of urns is commonly measured in cubic inches.
The outside measurements are only a consideration if you choose to bury the ash container or keep it in a columbarium niche as you will need to ensure the urn will fit inside the the vault (if using) or niche.
The general rule of thumb is to allow 1 cubic inch for every pound of body weight before their passing, as long as they were of a healthy bodyweight.
A cremation urns for ashes with capacity of 200 cubic inches or more is considered a full-size adult urn. 200 Cubic inches is large enough to hold the human remains of a 6'4" medium build, large enough to store most adults remains.
It is commonplace for there to be empty space inside the urn once the ashes have been transferred, there is no need to worry if the urn is too big.
Child and Infant urns
For child and infant cremation urns the same 1lb = 1 Cu In rule applies.
However, if you are looking for an urn for very young babies (0-4 months) then you will need to add around two cubic inches more.
If a child is to be cremated in a casket you should also allow for at least five cubic inches more for the smallest infants ashes.
If you have any uncertainty your funeral director/crematorium will be able to provide further advice.
