When it comes to considering the size of Cremation Urns that you will need for your beloved dog or cat you
can follow the same general rule applied when discussing the ashes of a human.
For every pound of total weight before passing away, you will
need approximately one cubic inch of space.
For example:
If your dog weighs 100 lbs. you will need an urn that is 100
cubic inches or larger;
If your dog weighs 50 lbs. you will need an urn that is 50
cubic inches or larger;
If your cat weighs 10 lbs. you will need an urn that is 10
cubic inches or larger;
To be on the safe side ~ I would suggest that you add ten
cubic inches to the converted size to ensure the urn will accommodate all the ashes.
Urns for Ashes capacity is either measured in cubic inches or
litres.
The conversion is approx.:
1.5L = 90 Cubic Inches
1L = 60 Cubic Inches
.5L = 30 Cubic Inches
Wooden pet urns for ashes for pets are available in
many sizes, allowing you the flexibility to choose an urn that will perfectly
suit your needs.
If you want an urn that will hold all of your dog or cat’s
ashes you do need to consider the weight of your pet to be sure that all the
ashes will fit inside. Along with the Funeral
Urns and Pet Urns you can also choose Ash
Caskets to preserve the ashes of the beloved pet.
If you are planning to keep a small portion of the ashes and
scatter or bury the rest ~ our Keepsake Urn or Memorial Jewelry Collection
would be suitable.
Keep in mind that it is perfectly fine to have extra space in
the urn and that the ashes do not necessarily need to completely fill the urn.
It is quite common for pet owners to buy urns that are 50+ cubic inches for
pets smaller than 10 pounds.
Find an urn that you love and that represents your companion
best and the size will work itself out.
