FAQ's

Why choose an aluminum urn?

Aluminum provides a lighter-weight alternative while still maintaining strength and durability. It’s often preferred for its clean finish and ease of handling.

How do I know what size urn I need?

As a general guide, you’ll need approximately1 cubic inch of capacity per pound of body weight. For example, an adult weighing 70kg (154 lbs) typically requires around 154 cubic inches. If you are unsure, choosing a slightly larger urn is always the safer option.

Can ashes be divided between multiple urns?

Yes. Many families choose to divide ashes across several urns or keepsakes so each person can keep a portion. This is a common and practical approach, especially for households in different locations.

Do urns need to be sealed?

Most urns come with secure lids that are sufficient for normal use. If you prefer a permanent seal, a small amount of adhesive can be applied, but this is optional and depends on how you intend to use the urn.

Are these urns suitable for keeping at home?

Yes. All the urns we offer are selected with home placement in mind. Designs range from minimal to decorative, allowing you to choose something that fits naturally within your space rather than feeling out of place.

What is the difference between a full urn and a keepsake urn?

A full urn is designed to hold the complete ashes of an adult, while a keepsake urn holds a smaller portion. Keepsakes are often used for sharing ashes among family members or keeping a small amount separately.
