How much ash do the urns hold? What if there is some left over?
The quantity of ash that each urn holds is listed on the product pages in cubic inches (ci). One quantity is given for urns and a separate quantity for Ashes In Stone, our process for blending a small quantity of ashes into the cast stone. A rule of thumb often used says 1 pound of body weight equals 1 cubic inch of cremains. Please use this as a guideline only. Our urns and memorials were designed to hold a portion of the ashes of a loved one. None of our urns will hold all of the ashes of a person. All of the ashes of larger dogs or pets will also probably not fit into the urns. There are many options for the extra ash. Some people scatter or bury them in a place that was special to the deceased, perhaps in the mountains or in a garden or at sea. Our urns are ideal for families who would like each member of the family to have a keepsake memorial urn of the departed loved one.
