Understanding urn sizes

Cremation urns are designed to store the ashes of a loved one for as long as needed, whether as a permanent memorial or a temporary solution while other arrangements are made. In both cases, many families attach deep emotional and spiritual significance to the urn, which is why choosing the right one is so important. We fully understand this responsibility and aim to provide the perfect urn for every individual and family. Our diverse range of designs allows you to select a meaningful piece that reflects both memory and love.

Individual-sized urns are intended to hold the ashes of a single person. Available in styles ranging from simple and understated to highly decorative, they offer a wide variety of choices. These urns are crafted from different materials, including metal, stone, and biodegradable options. Biodegradable urns are often preferred by those who plan to bury the ashes rather than keep them.

Sharing urns are designed for families who wish to divide the ashes among loved ones. They are especially popular with families spread across different locations, allowing each person to keep a portion of the ashes close or scatter them in a place of personal significance. Sharing urns also allow family members to choose a design that reflects their own relationship and memories of the person they have lost.

The smallest option available is the keepsake urn, which holds a token amount of ashes. Keepsake urns are ideal when several people wish to have a small memorial, or when the majority of ashes are to be buried or scattered while a small reminder is kept. Some families also choose keepsake urns so ashes can be scattered in multiple locations. Separating the ashes at the crematorium can make this process easier and avoids disturbing the remains multiple times, while also simplifying transportation.
