What Size Urn Do I Need?

Choosing the right size urn is a vital part of honouring your loved one’s memory. Whether you’re commemorating an adult, child, baby, or pet — or selecting an urn for two — this guide will help you find the right fit with confidence and clarity.

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.
