Pet urns
The urn is where the ashes come home to. Timber, ceramic, biodegradable, or a photo urn you can see them in every day. A timber urn or scatter tube is included with every full service; everything here is a choice, not a cost you have to carry on the worst day.
An urn only means something if you are certain whose ashes are inside. Every one here sits on top of individual cremation with a verified ID tag.
Examples of the urns available through our partner makers around Australia. We priced 133 of these across 6 Australian retailers: the median is $220 and the middle half falls between $130 and $290. How we surveyed it.

| What you are buying | Median | Middle half | Full range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Urns 133 priced across 6 retailers | $220 | $130 to $290 | $30 to $780 |
434 products priced. Published catalogues of Australian retailers selling pet urns, keepsakes, caskets and memorials, read from each store's own product feed and then checked item by item so that nothing which is not a pet aftercare product is counted. Surveyed 30 August 2026. Engraving, delivery and personalisation are often quoted separately at checkout. How we collected this.
Material is what moves the price
| Material | Median | Range | Products |
|---|---|---|---|
| granite | $300 | $183 to $1,570 | 16 |
| stone | $257 | $85 to $1,050 | 47 |
| gold | $249 | $99 to $1,050 | 47 |
| resin | $225 | $60 to $520 | 45 |
| biodegradable | $215 | $60 to $435 | 19 |
| sterling silver | $212 | $99 to $345 | 32 |
| timber | $176 | $40 to $505 | 40 |
| ceramic | $175 | $95 to $450 | 24 |
| fabric | $140 | $75 to $165 | 5 |
| glass | $100 | $75 to $3,020 | 5 |
| stainless steel | $99 | $75 to $300 | 26 |
Granite and bronze outlast everything else outdoors and are priced accordingly. Resin and ceramic are indoor materials: they look right on a shelf and they do not survive a few Australian summers in a garden bed.
What size urn you actually need
Work on one cubic inch of urn for every 450g your pet weighed, which is the sizing rule urn makers use. A 25kg labrador needs roughly 56 cubic inches, about 918ml, and comes back as around 0.9kg of ash.
| Living weight | Ashes weigh about | Urn capacity | In millilitres |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3kg A cat, a rabbit or a toy breed | 105g | 7 cubic inches | 115ml |
| 8kg A small terrier or a cavoodle | 280g | 18 cubic inches | 295ml |
| 15kg A beagle or a mid-size crossbreed | 525g | 33 cubic inches | 541ml |
| 25kg A labrador, a staffy, a kelpie | 875g | 56 cubic inches | 918ml |
| 35kg A german shepherd or a boxer | 1.2kg | 78 cubic inches | 1279ml |
| 50kg A rottweiler or a great dane | 1.8kg | 111 cubic inches | 1820ml |
| 70kg A mastiff or a large working dog | 2.5kg | 156 cubic inches | 2558ml |
19 Australian urns with a published weight rating. Ash weight is estimated at 3.5 per cent of living body weight, the ratio used across the cremation industry. Urn capacity uses the maker's convention of one cubic inch for every pound of living weight, which builds in room to spare. Surveyed 30 August 2026. Ash weight tracks bone mass rather than body weight, so two dogs of the same size can differ by a fifth either way. If you are between sizes, take the larger one. How we collected this.
Australian retailers mostly size urns by the pet's weight rather than by capacity, so a listing will say it suits a pet up to 25kg and never mention cubic inches at all. The table above is there so you can check a listing against the arithmetic instead of taking the label's word for it, and so you know what to ask when a listing gives you neither.

Things people ask us
Do I have to choose an urn straight away?
No. Ashes come home in your included timber urn or scatter tube, and you can order a different urn months later. Many families do.
How do I know the ashes are my pet's?
A stainless ID tag assigned at collection is verified before and after cremation and sealed with the ashes. Our chain-of-care page explains every step.
