SIZING NOTES
Ash volume varies by crematorium and location, so its best for you to measure your ash volume and not just use my approximation based on pre-cremation weight. Measure the volume (length x width x height of ashes not including the container thickness) of the ashes you have already received or ask the crematorium what size you will need. If you are close to the maximum volume of the urn I would recommend ordering a larger size urn. Ash volume can vary and might not calculate to the approximate 1 cubic inch of volume equals 1 pound of pre-cremation weight that is the standard USA conversion. For Hydro Cremation and non USA cremation, there will be at least 20% more volume of ashes . I would always suggest ordering one size up if you have any concerns about the urn size.

INTERNATIONAL DUTY FEE / Customs Charges For International buyers:
Your post office may charge you an additional customs and duty fee when you pick it up from your postal service. I cannot predict how much this will be, but I have heard that it is a significant cost. You are responsible for this cost.
