Infant Urns for Ashes Memorializing Young Lives Lost | Geturns
Child/Medium Cremation Urns
The loss of a child is an unmatched experience with loss that cannot be compared to any other kind of loss. It’s something no parent should endure, and yet many do every year. This is why this collection of Child Cremation Urns is so carefully curated - how best can we remember a young life cut short, how can we best memorialize the innocence and youthfulness that was taken too soon?
Understanding Child Urn Size Categories:
Choosing the right urn size for your child’s cremains is essential for honoring their memory. These urns come in different sizes depending on the weight and age of your child. The most common size for a child's urn is approximately 50-100 cubic inches, suitable for most children up to 80 lbs. For younger children or infants, there are smaller urns available, typically ranging from 10-40 cubic inches. Some urns in this collection are also designed to hold a portion of ashes for sharing or special keepsakes. Understanding the right size ensures that you can select an urn that appropriately holds your child’s cremains, reflecting their precious life.

The 1 lb ≈ 1 cu in Rule:
The general rule for urn size is that 1 lb of body weight equals 1 cubic inch of urn capacity. For example, if your child weighed 40 lbs, you would need an urn that holds at least 40 cubic inches of cremains. This ensures that the urn is large enough to preserve your child’s remains and memorialize their precious life.
The lives of young children and kids are often the epitome of innocence and life joy, which is why there are three predominant colors in this set. Each color represents children in their own way. There’s a bright shade of powder blue, a color of gentleness and often, young boyhood. There’s a shade of baby pink, a youthful tone of girlhood femininity and sweetness. The last shade is a pure white tone, brilliant in color and finish, and a powerful reminder of innocence, purity, youth, and heaven. These young colors powerfully reflect the energy and spirit of those young lives and may often remind us of the joy they brought forth.
The essence behind the designs in this collection is to bring forth whatever peace and comfort they may to parents and families struggling with young loss. Emblematic representations of life and youthfulness, to remain a child for eternity. The teddy bear designs are a universal symbol of childhood, a reminder of a child’s naivety and comfort in their stuffed animals, something many of us loved in our youth. There are butterflies that are freeing, calming, and heavenly. There are hearts that symbolize love in the truest and most pure form.
Each soul and young life is unique, and their loss and pain are unlike anything else. Our infant urns collection are designed with the hope that they may so reflect a young life and bring some solace in the darkest of days or brighten up the corner of rooms.
These infant urns are hopeful reminders of love and life. They’re symbols for love and devotion and will provide an eternal resting space for a life that was not given enough time. While there are not always the right words to say how we feel or what we’re thinking, many of these urns also feature an opportunity for engravings to further remind us of a loved one.
No family will process such a loss in the same way as another family, but our hope is that these select pieces offer each family an opportunity to find what helps them move through the process of loss and sadness as they find peace and recover hope.
