Choosing a suitable urn

When we experience the loss of a friend, family member, or partner, there are many decisions to make and questions to consider. If you have arranged a cremation service, one of the most important choices is determining the right size of urn to safely and respectfully store your loved one’s ashes. We are happy to provide guidance to help you select the perfect urn to meet your needs.

As a general guideline, an adult cremation urn should provide approximately one cubic inch of space per pound of the person’s body weight—roughly 16 cubic centimetres for every half kilogram. This ensures that the ashes can be stored safely and appropriately.

At Urns With Love, we offer a wide range of handcrafted urns in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, allowing you to find an urn that is both functional and meaningful. If you have any doubts or questions, you are always welcome to speak with us directly. We approach every enquiry with empathy and understanding, and we are happy to help you choose an urn that perfectly suits your requirements.

We recognise how difficult it is to come to terms with the loss of a loved one. As part of our commitment to supporting the community, we aim to provide compassionate and practical advice during this time of grief. With over 70% of funerals in the UK now opting for cremation, many families have questions about how to safely store ashes. We are here to provide guidance, helping you select an adult cremation urn that is not only the correct size to keep ashes secure but also beautifully crafted to honour and encapsulate the memories of your loved one.
