How to Choose the Best Cremation Urn Size

Selecting the right cremation urn size is an important part of honoring your loved one’s memory. The size of the urn you choose will depend on several factors, including the amount of ashes, where you plan to display the urn, and whether you want to store all or part of the ashes.

Understanding Urn Sizes

Cremation urns come in a variety of sizes, typically measured in cubic inches. A general rule of thumb is that one pound of body weight will result in approximately one cubic inch of ashes. For example, if your loved one weighed 150 pounds, you would need an urn with at least 150 cubic inches of space.

Types of Urn Sizes

- Full-Size Urns: These are designed to hold the entire amount of cremated remains. They typically range from 180 to 220 cubic inches.

- Keepsake Urns: Smaller urns that hold a portion of the ashes, often used when the remains are shared among family members. These can range from 1 to 50 cubic inches.

- Companion Urns: Larger urns meant to hold the ashes of two people, often used for couples who wish to be together in their final resting place. These are generally 350 cubic inches or more.

- Infant and Child Urns:These are smaller in size, ranging from 10 to 50 cubic inches.

Using a Cremation Urn Volume Calculator

To ensure you choose the right size, you can use a cremation urn volume calculator. Simply input the weight of your loved one, and the calculator will recommend the appropriate urn size based on that weight.

Other Considerations

- Display Space: Consider where the urn will be displayed. If space is limited, you may need a smaller urn or a keepsake urn.

- Material and Design: The material and design may affect the urn’s exterior dimensions, so ensure the urn fits the space intended for it.

- Additional Keepsakes: If you plan to keep some of the ashes in keepsake jewelry or scatter some at a meaningful location, a smaller urn may be appropriate.

Choosing the right cremation urn size is a meaningful decision, ensuring that your loved one’s remains are cared for with the respect and dignity they deserve. Use the cremation urn volume calculator to help guide you to the perfect urn size.

Traveling with Cremated Remains: Important Guidelines

When traveling with cremated remains, it’s essential to understand the restrictions that may apply to your journey. Here’s what you need to know:

**Carry-On Bags:** Yes (with special instructions)

**Checked Bags:** Yes

To ensure a smooth screening process, we recommend using a temporary or permanent container made from lighter materials. These materials should allow TSA officers to clearly see the contents of the container during the screening process. If the container creates an opaque image on the x-ray machine, it will not be permitted as a carry-on item.

It's important to note that TSA officers, out of respect for the deceased, will not open cremation containers, even at the passenger's request. Therefore, it’s crucial to select a container that complies with TSA guidelines to avoid any issues during your travels.
