Different Types of Cremation Urns
If you’re planning to get your departed loved one cremated, one problem you may have to deal with is choosing which of the types of cremation urns you should use. They typically vary in size, style, and type of materials used to manufacture them. To help you decide, here are some recommendations you may want to consider:
- Companion Urns
Also known as dual-capacity or double urns, these cinerary urns typically hold up to 450 cubic inches of cremains. As their name implies, companion urns are intended to house the ashes of two individuals. These cinerary urns are ideal for people who want to be remembered together, even in death. - Individual Urns
As their name suggests, these single-capacity urns are meant to hold the cremains of one individual. They are also often called full-size urns or standard adult urns. Their interior volumes range from 195 to 260 cubic inches.
If you’re unsure which size of standard adult urn is best for your departed, remember that one cubic inch is said to accommodate approximately one pound of body weight. So, if your departed loved one weighed 200 lbs., then an individual urn with an interior volume of 200 cubic inches may be your best choice.
- Keepsake Urns
Also known as sharing urns, keepsake urns are designed to hold small portions of the cremains. This means that the ashes of the departed can be divided and shared among close friends and relatives. Keepsake urns are typically kept as a memento or remembrance.
- Specialty Urns
These cinerary urns are made from different materials in a wide array of unique designs. Some popular examples of specialty urns include children and infant urns, pet urns, eco-friendly urns, water-soluble urns, picture urns, and memorial jewelry.
