What size cremation urn do I need?
If you’re purchasing an urn for an adult the quickest answer to this question is an Adult Urn.
Adult Urn - Most Common
Extra Large Adult Urn - Tall or large framed adults
We even created a quick and helpful video about cremation urn sizes:
Small and Medium Urn - Shared remains or young children
Note: Small and Medium urns are not used as a single vessel for adult remains regardless of height or weight before cremation.
Keepsake Urn - Small amount of shared remains
Urns for Two - Combined ashes
We get many questions about urn sizing:
- What is the standard size of an urn?
- What size should an urn be?
- What is the average volume of a cremated body?
- How many cubic inches is an urn supposed to hold?
- How big is an urn for ashes?
The majority of our Adult Urns hold 200-220 cubic inches of ashes.
