  • Very pleased with the silver keepsake urn I purchased to keep some of my mum’s ashes in. It’s beautiful and very good quality. Thank you Darren for all your help and assistance.

Not sure where to start?

Choosing the right size urn for ashes

As a rule, every 1lb of body weight needs about 1 cubic inch of urn volume — roughly 250ml per stone. Most adults need an urn of 3 to 3.5 litres, which is suitable for 99% of cases.

Body weightUrn size neededWeight of ashes
1lb · 0.45kg1 cubic inch · 17ml13g
4.5 stone · 28.5kg62 cubic inches · 1 litre850g
12 stone · 76.2kg168 cubic inches · 2.8 litres2.17kg
Height matters too: taller people have longer bones, so there is more ash. Body fat burns away during cremation, so it has less bearing on the amount.
