Follow These Rules To Better Determine The Size Of The Urn You Need

Please Note: When we refer to "healthy" weight, we mean a weight prior to any illness that may have resulted in weight loss, if applicable.

1. In order to hold all of your loved one's ashes you'll need to know the approximate healthy body weight of the person or pet you are shopping for.


2. One pound of healthy body weight will yield just less than 1 cubic inch of ash.
   Assume for shopping purposes that: 1 pound of healthy body weight = 1 cubic inch ash.
   Easy example: A cremated 100 pound person (healthy weight) will yield almost 100 cubic inches of ashes. So, if 1 pound = 1 cubic inch, you will need an urn that is approximately 90-100 cubic inches or larger.
