Various Full-sized Cremation Urn Types


Full-size cremation urns are the right choice when you want to put the entire volume of cremains or ashes a single urn. Typically, these urns hold between 200 to 220 cubic inches of cremains--the volume of cremains resulting from the cremation of a full-size human adult. Full-size urns are available for sale in several different materials. The most common materials are wood, metal, glass, ceramic, pottery and stone.

Keepsake Cremation Urns


Keepsake urns for cremains or ashes are sized to hold just a small portion of cremains—typically from 1 to 5 cubic inches. The small urns are the right choice for sharing the cremains among many friends and family. They are also used to retain some of the cremains for possible future use after an ash scattering service or burial such as using a tiny amount to make a beautiful cremation pendant.

Biodegradable Urns


In the market, there are two types of biodegradable urns, a water urn or an earth urn. With water biodegradable urns, once the urn comes in contact with the water it will float for a brief period and then will sink into the water in a graceful manner. These water biodegradable urns are made from natural materials such as recycled paper, gelatin, sand and rock salt.

The earth biodegradable urns will degrade over time in the soil. Such an urn will degrade completely in about a year or less depending on the climate and moisture level of the grounds. These earth biodegradable urns are made from environmentally friendly and non-toxic materials. In making such urns, no harmful chemicals or plastics are used.

You can also use a biodegradable urn if you wish to travel with the cremation ashes of the deceased. According to the ways to travel with cremated remains or ashes provided by the TSA, it is essential to take ashes in a container made of a scan-able material so that it can be easily x-rayed. A biodegradable urn will easily pass through security x-ray technology used at an airport. This means you can easily travel with a biodegradable urn.
