What size cremation urn will I need?
The general rule is that you need one cubic inch of urn space for each pound of the persons weight. Most urns created for cremation ashes are oriented to an approximate 220 cubic inch capacity to accommodate most sizes. We however offer 180+ for the average person, 220+ for a larger person and 375+ as a companion or double size.
When you say we create Custom Urns, just how much input does the customer have?
All choices are wide open to the customer. You may choose an extremely innovative format that starts with a personal concept. You may choose a specific style and then determine the color, texture and embellishment that fit the personality of deceased. Or anything in between. No two lives are exactly alike, why should two urns be exactly alike?
We have a system to guide the customer through the ordering process and a way of communicating and confirming communications at each step.
What is a Keepsake Urn?
Keepsake urns are in essence small models of full size urns. They are meant to hold a small portion of the cremation ashes. Many families purchase several so that a loved one's ashes can be divided among those living far apart. We make keepsake urns to complement any of our urns in groups or individually.
What is the best way to seal a cremation urn?
You can choose to not seal your urn if the ashes are to be place inside using a sealed plastic bag, however should you choose to seal the lid, it can easily be sealed with a good quality silicon sealant which can be found at any home depot or hardware store. Simply apply a bead of sealant around the inside of the lid, and then securely fasten the lid on to the cremation urn. If you wanted to someday remove the lid, it is possible if done carefully by a strong person. Simply, twist the lid back and forth until it releases.

I like the Photo cat urn, but before I make a purchase,can you please tell me if it is possible to add a line with dates on on the urn? How much extra would it cost?
It's very common to add dates to the inscription. And generally we don't charge anything for one additional line of inscription. Just add a comment with instructions.
