About volume

All of our urns (Tall, Medium and Wide) have a large capacity and are above the common 215 in³/3,5l standards.

Tall — 3,8 liters — 231,9 cubic inches
Medium— 4,3 liters — 262,4 cubic inches
Wide — 5,3 liters — 323,4 cubic inches

Funeral urn’s volume is measured in cubic inches/liters and refers to the capacity of an urn.

Usually one urn should contain all the ashes. Some countries may recommend the minimum capacity of an urn. For example Finnish law says that an urn for the adult should be four liters in size. The United Kingdom’s law only recommend the capacity of an urn to be minimum 3,3l (200 cubic inches).

Please note that the ashes are placed in the urn in a cinerary box or a special bag.

Many countries have their own standards and internal regulations about the size of such containers. Usually, if the outer urn is too small to fit the box, the crematorium can place the ashes in the special bag instead.
