Extra Large Urns ~ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the extra large size the right size of cremation urn I need?

You might need an extra large urn if you have higher capacity needs for a person who was taller or of a heavier weight than average. Extra large cremation urns can provide flexibility, security, and peace of mind. Many families choose oversized urns not only for capacity reasons, but also when they aren't sure of the right size, to accommodate burial requirements, to have a more substantial memorial, and to feel satisfied with their storage choice long-term.

What are the best urns for extra large needs?

All of our extra large urns for ashes are designed with secure closures, quality craftsmanship, and lasting materials. We have extra large urns that are perfect for home display, burial, or columbarium placement. A family favorite is the Platinum Elegance Brass Urn Extra Large with its decorative design and pewter and gold accents. In wood, the Arden Walnut Wooden Urn is a popular choice with extra capacity.

Is there an average size for a cremation urn?

The adult urn for ashes is considered the average size and typically holds about 200 cubic inches of cremated remains (almost 14 cups). A guideline in the funeral industry is that one pound of weight prior to cremation is equal to one cubic inch of ashes. So, a person who weighed 200 lbs. prior to cremation would need an urn with a 200 cubic inch capacity or slightly larger. It is not necessary to fill an urn "up to the top."
