Determining the quantity of ashes you will receive from a funeral crematory can be challenging due to variations in cremation processes among different services. Additionally, factors such as the deceased person’s bone structure, age, height, and sex play a role in determining the size of the urn needed.
Typically, our large adult urns have a volume capacity ranging from approximately 200-220 cubic inches (3.0 – 3.4L), which is suitable for holding the ashes of an adult. We offer exchanges if you require a different size urn, provided it is unused and returned in its original condition. Alternatively, we recommend opting for the next size up if you are uncertain.
For average-height adults (152 cm-180 cm), a 200-220 cubic inch / 3.1 – 3.5L cremation urn is appropriate. Tall adults (182 cm and above) may require an urn with a volume of 220 cubic inches / 3.6L.
This is a general guide, and we advise contacting your crematorium or funeral director to confirm the exact size of the urn you need to purchase.
