Urns by Size

While cremation urns are offered in a variety of sizes, an adult size urn is what most people need. Adult size cremation urns have a capacity of 180-220 cubic inches. This capacity will hold the ashes of a person who was of average height and approximately 180-220 lbs. prior to cremation urn. Another popular size of cremation urn is a keepsake urn. Keepsake urns hold a small amount of ashes in remembrance -- typically just a few tablespoons. Cremation urn sizes also include extra large, companion urns which hold the ashes of two people, and medium urns which hold a portion of ashes.
