A: The standard urn size is usually 200 cubic inches of interior volume, and this is the size of our full size urns. This size will contain the cremated remains of a person up to 200 pounds. Approximately speaking, one pound of body weight translates into about one cubic inch of ashes.

A: The ways in which people commemorate their loved one are greatly varied. Some find that honoring their loved one with a beautiful resting place and a perfect funeral service is what they need to find closure. Others choose to scatter the ashes in a meaningful location where they have checked that this is allowed. When scattering is chosen, often it is comforting to keep a small portion of the ashes sealed within a mini-urn, or in a piece of cremation jewelry. Some families who live at great distances from each other choose to divide the ashes among a full size urn for the surviving spouse, and several matching keepsake mini-urns for each of the children. Still other families choose our solid glass hearts as keepsake mementos, which match the urn. Because these heart keepsakes do not contain any cremated remains, they can be particularly appropriate mementos for small children, and may be engraved on the back.
