Keep reading this guide to explore various options for childrens urns, understand the selection process, and find meaningful ways to honor your child's memory.
How Much Ash Remains After a Baby Is Cremated?
Cremated ashes typically weigh between 4 and 6 pounds or 3.5 percent of an adult's body weight. For infants and young children, the ash makes up about 2.5 percent of their body weight. After a baby is cremated, the residual ashes typically weigh between 0.7 and 1.5 pounds or between 18 and 43 cubic inches.
What Types of Beautiful Child Urns Are Available?
Child urns are available in a variety of serene, soothing colors, as well as traditional and modern designs. The decorations range from very simple to extremely intricate. Some folks prefer adornments of toys that the child adored, and teddy bear urns are some of our most popular ones.

How Can You Choose the Right Urn Size for the Remains of Your Baby?
It's crucial to keep in mind that you should consider the volume of the residual ashes rather than their weight when selecting a cremation urn. Cubic inches are used to measure volume.
Children's urns can range in size from 10 to 150 cubic inches; however, most childrens urns are between 10 and 20 cubic inches. You will require one cubic inch for each pound of body weight, as a general rule of thumb. For instance, your urn needs to have at least 15 cubic inches if your infant weighs 15 pounds. To help you make an informed selection, consider using an urn-size guide. If the urn you want to utilize does not have cubic inch specifications stated, measure the container's length, depth, and height, and multiply them together to get the total cubic inches. For example, a beautiful memento box with a length of 4 inches, a depth of 6 inches, and a height of 5 inches would have a volume of 120 cubic inches.
What Should You Consider for the Final Resting Place of Your Child's Ashes?
Your child's cremated remains can lay in an urn either permanently or temporarily. While some would rather keep the urn in the presentation box, others would choose to have the urn and ashes on permanent display.
Additionally, some people might also like to scatter the ashes in a particular place. It is recommended to do this by moving the ashes into a personalized child scatter tube. This facilitates and eases the spreading and transferring of ashes. Choosing Cherished Urns may guarantee that your child's memory is preserved appropriately, regardless of whether you choose to scatter the ashes in the place of your choice or display them at home.
In the end, let your heart guide you to the urn that will console you. Allow it to strengthen you during this trying time. Take the time to appreciate the nuances and superb craftsmanship that will create joyful memories.
