Coping with the loss of a loved one is undeniably one of the most gruesome things one has to go through in life. But what can prove to be very difficult is picking the right sized cremation urn if you are not sure how to go about it the right way.
As a general rule of thumb, the person’s weight in pounds prior to their death would equal cubic inches of cremated ashes, which essentially means 1 pound = 1 cubic inch. So if a person weighed 250 pounds at the time of their death then you need an urn that can hold or has a capacity to hold 250 cubic inches of cremated ashes. At GetURNS you will find a whole variety of cremation urns ranging from Extra large urns, Adult cremation urns, to even Keepsake urns, which are smaller in size and serve a different purpose. The XL adult urns can hold up to 300 cubic inches of ashes, the normal adult urns can hold up to 175 cubic inches of ash while the keepsake urns hold only 3.5 cubic inches of ashes.
That being said, keepsake urns are not meant to store all the ashes that are generated from creating an adult human being. These urns are meant to hold small bits of ashes that family members can share amongst themselves so each household can hold a small portion of the ashes of their deceased loved one.
