Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size cremation urn?
At Urn Studios, we specialise in handmade cremation urns created by skilled makers. Our collection includes ceramic urns, wooden urns, and metal urns, each crafted with care and attention to detail. Every piece is unique, offering a meaningful and dignified way to remember your loved one.
How do I choose the right size cremation urn?
A standard adult cremation urn is usually around 3–4 litres, providing space for the full ashes of one adult. The ashes are often placed within a separate ash bag, and urns are designed with a little extra room so this can be accommodated with ease. Smaller options, such as keepsake urns, are intended to hold only a small portion of ashes, often chosen for sharing among family and friends as a lasting personal memento.
On each of our product pages you will find the urn’s volume and an image indicating whether it is full-size, medium, or keepsake. Ultimately, the decision is both practical and personal: some families prefer to keep all the ashes together, whilst others may wish to scatter, bury, and/or share them among loved ones.
Are your cremation urns handmade?
Yes. All of our cremation urns are handmade by experienced artisans. Each urn is carefully crafted, with unique details and variations that give it its own character. Choosing a handmade cremation urn means selecting a piece created with care and artistry, offering a personal and lasting way to honour your loved one.
Where can I buy artistic cremation urns online in the UK?
You can order directly from Urn Studios online, with UK delivery. We focus exclusively on artistic, handmade cremation urns, giving families a more meaningful and unique option compared to standard funeral home urns.
What is the difference between full-size cremation urns and keepsake urns?
A full-size cremation urn is designed to hold the complete ashes of an adult. A keepsake urn is smaller and holds only a portion of the ashes, making it ideal for families who want to share ashes between relatives or keep a small memento at home. Urn Studios offers both options across our handmade collections.
Why choose a handmade urn instead of a standard urn?
A handmade cremation urn offers a deeply personal way to honour a loved one’s memory. Each piece is individually crafted by artisans, with subtle variations and thoughtful detail that make it unique, just as every life is unique. Our urns are created with the intention of being part of the home, not hidden away, so they can remain present within daily life as a gentle reminder and a lasting tribute. The artistry behind each urn reflects care, respect, and connection, allowing families to feel that the vessel holding the ashes is as meaningful as the memories it safeguards.
