General Questions
Cremation is the process of reducing human or pet remains to small particles, through intense heat. The entire process takes approximately three hours. First, the remains are exposed to flame and temperatures of up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately two-and-a-half hours. During the process almost all of the organic material is consumed by heat or evaporation. After cremation the remains are mechanically or chemically processed into a coarse, sand-like powder.
Yes. State laws provide that only one body may be cremated at a time. Some states, however, permit family members to be cremated together, with consent of next-of-kin.
The cremation and funeral industry is closely regulated, monitored, and inspected. The Federal Trade Commission is the federal regulatory agency overseeing the funeral and cremation industry, as part of its Bureau of Consumer Protection. Read the FTC Funeral Rule for more information. Individual states have agencies that oversee funeral homes and crematoriums. Many states also permit additional inspections as required by the Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Public Health.
No. However, for health and safety reasons, crematoriums require a secure, leak-proof, enclosed combustible container. It can be simple, made of cardboard, wood, or corrugated paper. A casket is sometimes used temporarily to hold a viewing of the body before cremation. Some funeral homes have caskets available for rent for formal memorial services.
It varies.Funeral homes and crematoriums have established their own procedures for handling and returning cremated remains. In most cases, you will receive the ashes in a heavy, clear plastic bag placed inside a temporary cardboard box or plastic container. You may then remove the ashes from the temporary container and place them into a memorial urn of your choice. You can also purchase an urn before and send it to the crematorium to fill.
Strictly enforced procedures are in place at crematoriums for keeping track of cremated remains. Procedures include placing an identifying marker in the container holding the body before cremation. Ask your cremation provider about their safeguards to prevent human error and to ensure you receive the correct cremated remains.
Urns are sold by size, measured by the amount of ashes that each urn holds in cubic inches. One pound of human or pet weight equals one cubic inch of remains. Therefore, if your loved one weighed 150 pounds you will need an urn that will hold at least 150 cubic inches. Standard individual cremation urns are designed to hold 200 cubic inches of remains. The size of each urn in cubic inches is listed with the item’s description. Use the filters on the left of our collections page to refine your results based on weight.
A companion urn is an urn designed to hold the cremated remains of two people. The industry standard size for companion urns is 400 cubic inches. You can see our selection of companion urns here.
A cubic inch is a standard unit of measurement used to measure volume. A cubic inch is the volume of a cube with each side measuring one inch in length. In the cremation industry, the amount of ashes that each urn holds is measured in cubic inches.
No. The Federal Trade Commission’s “Funeral Rule” assures that every American has a right to provide their own urn or casket for use by a funeral home. More precisely, the rule states that “The funeral provider cannot refuse to handle a casket or urn you bought online, at a local casket store, or somewhere else — or charge you a fee to do it. The funeral home cannot require you to be there when the casket or urn is delivered to them.” You can read more about this rule here
Yes, of course . All memorial service and viewing options available to traditional burial and interment are available with cremation.

Placing ashes in the urn is actually easy. Most people do it themselves. Usually cremated remains are returned in a plastic bag, and the entire bag can be placed into an individual sized cremation urn, without opening the bag. Smaller urns like keepsakes may require a small funnel. For those who do not wish to place the ashes in the urn themselves, many funeral homes or crematoriums will place the ashes in the urn upon request.
Metal urns open and close with a threaded lid, and most can be permanently sealed with a clear adhesive, or metal-to-metal glue. Ceramic, stone and glass urns have a tight fitting lid that can be permanently sealed with a small amount of silicone sealant or clear-drying adhesive. Some wooden urns seal with a threaded lid, and can be permanently sealed with sealant or wood glue. Many wooden urns are sealed with a removable panel on the bottom which is secured by screws. Some stone or ceramic urns are sealed with a plug placed into the open hole. Scattering urns do not seal, but are made to be easily opened to disperse the cremated remains.

Some mausoleums or chapels have a columbarium, made up of small niches designed to hold memorial urns. The possibilities are unlimited, depending on your wishes and your loved one wishes.

UPS, Federal Express, and DHL will not knowingly transport cremated remains because they are irreplaceable, and cannot be insured.

The Transportation Security Administration says: “We understand how painful losing a loved one is and we treat crematory remains with respect. Some airlines do not allow cremated remains as checked baggage, so please check with your airline to learn more about possible restrictions. “Under no circumstances will a Transportation Security Officer (TSO) open a crematory container. To facilitate screening, we suggest that you purchase a temporary or permanent crematory container made of a lighter weight material, such as wood or plastic. If the container is made of a material that generates an opaque image, the TSO will not be able to clearly determine what is inside the container and the container will not be permitted. “Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane.” However, you are permitted to transport empty cremation urns, if the lid can be removed and the inside of the urn inspected. Here at OneWorld Memorials, we recommend the usage of a scattering/temporary urn while flying.
