Sizing for Urns
To determine the appropriate pet urn volume capacity needed for a pet, the average guide is that 2.2 kilo of body weight (during a healthy state) = one cubic inch. For example, a 20 kg pet would require an urn with at least 44 cubic inches volume capacity for remains. This can vary slightly.
Urn Size Volume Capacity (weight of pet)
6" inch height 44 cubic" up to 20kg
7" inch height 88 cubic" up to 44kg
8" inch height 140 cubic" over 44kg
