Estimated Ash Weight Calculator

This tool estimates the weight of the ashes, not the volume. If you're looking to choose the right urn size, please use the calculator above instead.

Note: Ash weight varies by individual and cremation method. This is a general estimate.

Note: It’s generally better to slightly overestimate the size you need. In some cases, additional ash volume may result from the cremation process, including material from the coffin. This won’t affect most cases, but having a little extra space offers peace of mind.
