Urns come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You want to give your pet a beautiful final gift of love, and this shows in the urn you choose for their remains after they have been cremated. There are a few things to consider, such as what you intend to do with the ashes.
What Urn Sizes Can You Choose?Will you be organizing a formal burial for your lovely pet, or will you keep the ashes in an urn inside your home?  Pet urns would normally need to be about one cubic inch (or more) for every pound of their weight. Urns typically come in a whole range of sizes from small, medium, large, and so on.
How Dog Size Affects Urn SizeDepending on the weight of your deceased pet, there are urn designs specifically for their remains after the cremation process. Say your pet dog weighs around 40 lbs; you can expect the perfect urn to have a size of 40 cubic inches larger than that.
