When it comes to selecting the size you will require for the pet memorial urns for ashes, we recommend you to follow the same rule of thumb that is used in the memorial industry for humans. You require 1 cubic inch of urn space for every pound that your animal weighs. With this said, we also suggest you adding 10 cubic inches to the converted size, to make sure that the urn can accommodate the pet ashes. For instance, if your pet weighs 20 pounds, we would suggest an urn that can hold at least 30 cubic inches. This rule of thumb is made for assuring that, in numerous cases, an urn that your purchase will be larger than your requirement for accommodating all of your pet’s cremains. In short, it causes the right estimate.

You must not be worried especially regarding buying a larger burial urn. It’s quite usual for pet owners to purchase cremation urns for ashes that are 40, 60 inches or even more for pets that weighed even below 10 pounds. In case the urn that you choose, yield to be very small, you should buy a second, smaller cremation urn or even pet cremation jewelry that can hold the remaining ashes. A few families distribute the remaining ashes in a suitable place shared with their pets, such as a beach or a park, for leaving a small portion of them for enjoying their preferred place forever.
