cremation services in Prosper, TX

Companion urns are the perfect option for those who love someone else so much that they don’t want to be apart from them, even in death. They are large containers that hold the remains of two people after their cremation services in Prosper, TX. Often intended for a husband and wife or other partners, these urns generally have two separate compartments or one open area large enough for both sets of cremated remains.

 

Companion urns come in two standard shapes. There are two standard companion urn shapes: vase-style, rounded, and box-shaped, rectangular. The vase-style, rounded urns are often ceramic as they are made on a potter’s wheel, while the rectangular urns are often made from metal, stone, or wood as square-cornered construction is easier with those materials.

Companion urns also come in many different materials. You can find companion urns in almost any material, from metal and granite to wood, glass, ceramic, marble, and more.

 

Companion urns generally have double the capacity of standard adult urns. Standard adult urns usually have a capacity of 200 cubic inches, while companion urns have a 350-400 cubic inch capacity to hold the cremated remains of two people. Wondering if your companion urn will be large enough? Assume that 1 pound of a person’s body weight will leave about 1 cubic inch of cremated remains. So, for example, if someone who weighs 200 pounds wants to be buried with a 150-pound person, they need a 350 cubic-inch companion urn. These fully combustible containers are large and sturdy enough to hold the body during transportation to the chamber and during the cremation itself. Keep reading to learn more.
