    Default Urns.

    A serious question please. What sort of volume is needed for an urn for a persons ashes?

    I may just need to turn one and the cremation is tomorrow so a quick answer would be greatly appreciated.

    Just measured the box my mil is in, 225mmx 110mm x 85mm. (9" x 41/4" x 31/4"). That is a standard cremation plastic "Brick" box. It is designed to fit into the space a standard clay house brick would occupy. She resides in the cupboard behind me and is very quiet.

    She may not be all there as thats 124 cubic inch.

    I got those numbers from urn sellers that state that all their urns are 200 cubic Inch?

    my mothers dog is all there and he was a maltese, he's about as much as your MIL, 5x5x5 inch is 125.
    My brothers in the plastic square pickle jar they give them to you in and thats about 6 inch square, thats 216...

    Thank you for that link and all the other info folks..

    All I have to do now is to work out what size cylinder that will need, probably a 4 to 6" diameter?? Any ideas on that folks?? Higher maths never was my fortie

    I did a search on how to work it out and gave up with total brain cell fade

    8" Tall will give you just over the 200 cubic inches. That is inside measurements.


    The formula is: Pi r squared by length.
