Shaker inspired cremation box for temporary or permanent storage of human crematory remains. What do funeral ashes look like? The cremation remains will resemble fine sand in color and texture. Actually the cremation remains are not ashes but teeth and bones. The organs and all soft tissue are vaporized during the intense heat of the cremation process. The residue of the cremation, teeth and bones, are then crushed before they are placed in the cremation box. How much will the ashes weigh? They are not heavy at all and vary from three to seven pounds. The average female will weigh three close to 3 pounds while the weight of the average male is four pounds. What size cremation urn do I need to buy? Cremation urns are sold on the basis of volume in cubic inches. As a general rule of thumb for every pound that the deceased weighed, their cremation remains will be one cubic inch in volume. There are nominally five size classes for urns: *companion urns range from 400 cubic inches to 600 cubic inches in volume. They are designed for couples wishing to remain together or for large individuals. *Adult urns range from 200 to 235 cubic inches in volume. They vast majority of adults will fit in urns of this size. *Portion urns range from 50 to 100 cubic inches in volume. These urns are used with multiple family members desire a portion of the deceased cremated remains. *Infant urns range from 21 to 50 cubic inches in volume. Infant and Portion urns have some overlap in volumes and most urns can be used for either purpose. *Keepsake urns range from 1 to 14 cubic inches in volume. They are used when family members desire only a small amount of ashes. How are cremation urns closed? Every urn should have the ability to be permanent closed and with some urns, for example Keepsake, this may be the only option. Our boxes are designed for permanent closure by glue or screws (included).
