FAQ
SIZING
WHAT SIZE CREMATION URN DO WE NEED?
There are many factors that vary the amount of ashes, including the cremation processes, temperature variations, bone structure, height and age. Here is a general guide to knowing what size fits your needs:
Our Extra Large Cremation Urns: Any urn on our site marked as extra large is generally suitable for tall adults, 6" (182.88cm) and over. These urns are generally about 220 cubic inches.
Our Large Cremation Urns: Any urn on our site marked as large is generally suitable for average height adults (5"-5.9* or 152cm-179cm). These urns are generally about 200 cubic inches.
Our Medium Cremation Urns: Any urn on our site marked as medium is generally suitable for children. These urns are generally about 90 cubic inches.
Our Small Cremation Urns: Any urn on our site marked as small is generally suitable for infants. These urns are generally about 35 cubic inches.
WHAT ABOUT PET URNS?
A 120kg animal needs an urn of 212 cubic inches/ 3.48 litres or larger. This is generally an extra large cremation urn.
A 100kg animal needs an urn of 176 cubic inches/ 2.90 litres or larger. This is generally our large cremation urn.
A 80 kg animal needs an urn of 141 cubic inches/ 2.32 litres or larger. This is generally a large cremation urn.
A 60 kg animal needs an urn of 106 cubic inches/ 1.74 litres or larger. This is generally a large cremation urn.
A 40 kg animal needs an urn of 70 cubic inches/ 1.16 litres or larger. This is generally a medium cremation urn.
A 20 kg animal needs an urn of 34 cubic inches/ 0.57 litres or larger. This is generally a small cremation urn.
WHAT IF THE ASHES DON’T FIT IN THE URN?
If your ashes don’t look like they will fit inside the selected urn, please refrain from placing them inside to ‘test it’ and instead, return your urn to us in its original packing in brand new condition. We are happy for you to swap it with a larger urn or provide you with a credit note.
If you’ve already placed the ashes inside the urn, we cannot accept any returns, so we recommend purchasing an additional keepsake urn or jewellery for the remaining ashes. Other options include scattering the ashes with a meaningful ash scattering ceremony, or burying them under a tree.
Please note: due to health and hygiene reasons, if any cremains have been inside an urn we cannot accept returns.
The Urn Collective provides the information on this page as a guide only. The Urn Collective shall not be held responsible for any situation where all the ashes do not fit in the urn.
