Choosing the Right Urn Size

Perhaps you have found a beautiful urn in our collection to lovingly preserve the ashes of your loved one. We understand that choosing the right size can be difficult, which is why we have created this short guide to help you select the most suitable urn.                               

 

                             .

If you wish to divide your loved one's ashes among several family members, you do not need to focus on the total capacity of a single urn. You may also wish to scatter part of the ashes in a place that held special meaning. In these cases, a mini urn or sharing urn is often the ideal choice.

If you are looking for a small urn to hold a symbolic amount of ashes, a keepsake urn is the perfect option.

If you wish to preserve all of your loved one's ashes, you will need a full-size memorial urn.

To help you estimate the capacity required for a full-size urn, please refer to the guide below.

Category	Weight	Required Capacity
baby angel	0,15 – 0,30 liter	0,5 liter
child 40 kg	1,0 – 1,6 liter	1,75 – 2 liter
adult 75 kg (1.75 m)	2,2 – 3,0 liter	3 – 3,5 liter
adult 120 kg (1.90 m)	3,5 – 5,0 liter	5 liter
Furry angel cat	0,20 – 0,35 liter	0,5 liter
Furry angel dog	0,6 – 1,0 liter	1 – 1,25 liter

This is, of course, only a general guideline. If you are unsure, you can use the following calculation formula.

Adult	35 ml/kg
Baby angel	20 ml/kg
Furry angel	30 ml/kg

We create these urns with love, and it is with the same care and compassion that we are happy to place your loved one's ashes in the urn if you prefer not to do so yourself.
