Cremation Urn Size Info

By: Caskets Direct

Cremated remains (ashes) can vary in amount due to different cremation processes, temperature variations, bone structure of the deceased, height and age. We recommend you buy an urn slightly larger than calculated to avoid having the urn be too small for the ashes.

 

The following is a guide only and we do not guarantee the following calculations will be true 100% of the time. If unsure please contact your crematorium or funeral director to confirm exactly what size urn you need to purchase.
