Cremation Urns

Welcome to Caskets Direct blog.



Caskets Direct are proud to introduce their new range of lead crystal cremation urns. Custom made in Europe these mouth blown hand cut works of art are now available online.


Cremation Urn Sizes

Cremated remains (ashes) can vary in amount due to different cremation processes, temperature variations, bone structure of the deceased, height and age. Weight does not effect the size of the urn required as fat is a combustible element of nature and naturally disappears. A 220 cubic inch urn is, in 98% of cases, more than large enough to hold the ashes of an adult. If unsure please contact your crematorium or funeral director to confirm exactly what size urn you need to purchase.

The following is a guide only and we do not guarantee the following calculations will be true 100% of the time. We recommend you buy an urn slightly larger than calculated.
