Cremation Urns of Pottery

What is the right size for a cremation urn?

Calculate one cubic inch of urn size for every pound of body weight.  The average adult size is 180 cu inches.

Some families prefer using multiple urns, so a loved one's ashes can be divided among family members or the ashes may be interned in several locations.

Small urn sizes are available for pets.
 Very large urns (1500 cu. inches) are available for equine use.
