Dan made the process of choosing an urn so much more bearable. I couldn't get over how beautiful the urn is. It's the only website I could find that offers such unique and special designs.
Eternal Meadow Urn
The entire process was great, from answering questions to speedy tracked delivery. The package arrived without a scratch and the amethyst marble is exactly like it's advertised. 100% recommend this company.
Perfect in size, design and feel weighty and well produced. The silver detailing added just that extra bit without being too much. Perfect for the boys in the family to remember their Dad.

This fits the remains of most adults and includes space for the sealed bag the crematorium returns the ashes in. Our standard adult urns are mostly 3.4 litres (approximately 207 cubic inches), which comfortably fits remains up to and including 90kg once the bag is accounted for. Browse our adult urns.
Multiply the person's weight in kilograms by 2.2 to get the approximate cubic inches of remains. A 70kg person produces around 154 cubic inches. A standard 200 cubic inch urn fits this comfortably, including room for the sealed bag. If the person weighed over 90kg, consider one of our extra large cremation urns.
Crematoriums return ashes in a sealed plastic bag inside a temporary container. When you transfer the remains into an urn, the bag goes in as well. The bag takes up more space than the ashes alone — typically an extra 10 to 15 percent of capacity — which is why the practical capacity you need is higher than the weight formula alone suggests.
Yes, and many NZ families do. One adult urn holds the full remains, and keepsake urns allow individual family members to each have a portion. If someone wants to carry their person with them every day, cremation jewellery works the same way — pendants, bracelets, and rings that hold a small portion of ashes close.
This is more common than you'd think, and it's solvable. Message us at orders@forever-urns.co.nz and we'll help you find a suitable option — whether that's a larger adult urn or a way to split the remains into keepsakes so the urn you already have can still be used. Browse our full range of urns for ashes to find the right fit.
