Choosing the Right Urn Size
Choosing the appropriate urn size is based on the volume of ashes you receive from the crematorium after your pet's cremation. In our product descriptions, we provide both the **required volume in liters** and the corresponding **weight specification (kg)** to make your selection easier.
Important Note on Borderline Values: If your pet's weight is at the upper limit of a category, we strongly recommend choosing the **next size up**. Ash consistency can vary from crematorium to crematorium. Coarse ash naturally requires more space than very fine ash. Please clarify with the crematorium beforehand in what form you will receive the ashes.
Regardless of the size, you will find a wide selection of designs with us—from urns in the shape of dogs or cats, to designer urns, to special memorial jewelry. Many of our models can also be **stylishly and individually enhanced** with a high-quality engraving.
