Keepsake Urns

About Keepsake Urns and Small Urns

Known as small urns, mini urns, sharing urns, or keepsake urns, these miniature urns are scaled-down versions of standard adult urns. Keepsake cremation urns are designed to hold just a small amount of ashes. Most keepsake urns hold about three tablespoons of ashes.

Many people purchase keepsake urns as independent items, but others purchase them to match an adult sized urn. They also are purchased in sets to share among children, grandchildren, or other significant people in the person’s life. These small urns often are placed on a bedside table, shelf, or mantel as a reminder of the loved one. Keepsake cremation urns also are a popular way to transport a small amount of ashes to a scattering site that has meaning such as a favorite beach, hiking spot, or travel destination.
