What do I do if the urn is too small for the cremation ashes?
Asked 3 years ago
I decided to order a custom-made cremation urn in the shape of a heart for my wife's ashes after she passed. Unforuntately when it arrived I saw that the urn is far too small to hold all her ashes. I love the personalized urn I chose for her and really want to use it. However, I don't know what to do with the rest of the ashes that don't fit in it. Should I find a second urn for the remainder of her ashes, or just buy a bigger urn to hold all of them? I appreciate the help.

It might help to get a bigger urn to house your wife's cremains. Urns vary in size and design and if you wish to purchase another custom made urn, that is totally up to you. When you visit the Trupoint Memorials website, there are a variety of urns in all sizes for you to choose from, including custom designs.
