What is the volume of cremated human remains?

Question

i want to build a personal relequariy

Answer 1

When my Mother was cremated in 1984, the funeral home gave me the ashes in a container that was about the size of a 2lb. coffee can.  The container was a little wider than the hole you can dig with a post hole digger, as the cemetery people had dug a hole with a post hole digger and we had to widen it out to bury her ashes.

Answer 2

it depends on your bone mass. the more solid mass (not skin water or fat) that a person has will vary the weight and amount of remains and therefore change the size of the relequariy

Answer 3

I got to see what ashes come back to the funeral home in, that was interesting..........Contact a funeral home and see what they tell you..............

Answer 4

about a litre
