  These are for a small amount of cremains. My family has a few of these, to have a small amount of the deceased. The main urn is significantly larger and is with the widow.

    Wait, so different family members can have a small amount of a deceased loved one?

    First time i hear if this. Is it like, really common?

      My mom and aunts split my grandmother’s ashes evenly in 3 identical urns. We also used incredibly tiny amounts in urn jewelry (jewelry with a small chamber).

      Exactly. I only first heard about keepsake urns when we were dealing with my father’s cremains last year, so I don’t think it is super common.

      My 2 sisters and I each have one of these small urns of our grandmother’s ashes. Our mother has the large urn. Doesn’t necessarily make it common, just volunteering that I have one.

      It’s to prevent the dead rising again.

    Great. Now I have Mambo No. 5 in my head.

    🎵 A little bit of Monica, on my right
    A little bit of Rita, by my side
    A little bit of Jessica, here I am… 🎵

    You get the idea.

  My aunt would definitely not fit in there. That’s an urn for your crackhead cousin
