WHAT SIZE CREMATION URN DO WE NEED?

Cremated remains (ashes) can vary in amount due to different cremation processes, temperature variations, bone structure of the deceased, height and age. Weight does not affect the size of the urn required as fat is a combustible element of nature and naturally disappears.

A 200 cubic inch / 3.1Lt urn is, in 98% of cases, more than large enough to hold the ashes of an adult. If unsure please contact your crematorium or funeral director to confirm exactly what size urn you need to purchase. 

The ashes of very tall adults would be best suited to an urn that is 220 cubic inches / 3.6Lt  or larger.

As calculating ash amount is not an exact science, the following is a guide only. We do not guarantee the following calculations will be true 100% of the time.

What size urn will we need?

Tall adults- 6" /182.88cm and over will need a 220 cubic inch / 3.6Lt cremation urn

Average height adult- 5"/152.cm- 5.9"  will need a 200 cubic inch / 3.1Lt urn

One month old baby to three year old- needs an urn of approximately 40 cubic inches/ 0.65Lt

Pre term babies- please ask your funeral director for more specific adivice on ash quantity

Note: Premium Urns provides the information on this page as a guide only. Premium Urns shall not be held responsible for any situation where all the ashes do not fit in the urn.
