About Companion Cremation Urns

About Companion Cremation Urns

Companion cremation urns, also known as double urns, are designed to hold the cremated remains of two to three adults. These urns are a meaningful and increasingly popular choice among families and couples who wish to remain together even after death.

A companion urn for ashes symbolises eternal love, unity, and togetherness. Many families in the UK choose companion urns to honour lifelong partners or close family members who shared a deep bond.

Companion Urn Capacity

A standard single cremation urn typically holds around 3 to 3.5 litres of ashes. In comparison, a double capacity urn generally offers a capacity of 6 to 7 litres or more, making it suitable for two adults. In most companion urns, the ashes can be mingled together, depending on family preference.

Companion Urn Options

Some families prefer an alternative approach by choosing two individual urns placed side by side, creating a companion arrangement. This choice often reflects personal beliefs, cultural traditions, or the final wishes of the loved ones. Both options are equally respectful and meaningful.
