Cherry Finish Wood Cremation Urns This line of urns features a stunning, cherry red stained finish over solid white wood. When engraved, the natural wood color and grain shines through creating a one of a kind engraving dedicated to your loved one. What Size Urn Do I Need? Our cherry finish wood urns are all adult capacity or above (i.e. companion urn). The capacity range is 200-370 cubic inches. The general rule of thumb is 1 lb of live body weight equals 1 cubic inch of ash. If using with ashes provided from aquamation instead of cremation, please note that aquamation can result in up to 20% additional volume (i.e 1 lb = 1.2 cubic inches). The capacity of each style is listed below: Cherry Finish Slide Top Wood Urn - 200 cubic inchesClassic Cherry Finish Raised Panel Wood Cremation Urn - 240 cubic inchesCherry Finished Grooved Horizontal Wood Urn - 350 cubic inchesCherry Finish Grooved Vertical Wood Urn - 350 cubic inchesEngravable Cherry Finish Wood Companion Cube Urn for Two - 370 cubic inchesCherry Finish Photo Wood Cremation Urn - 200 cubic inches How To Open & Fill The Urn Raised Wooden Plate Style For urns that feature a raised bottom panel, use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove all four screws and the bottom plate should fall out on it's own. If the urn features a photo window, install the desired picture into the front photo window space and then place the ashes or bag of cremains into the empty compartment. For permanent sealing, an adhesive (not included) may be applied to the screws before re-installing the bottom plate. Inset Wooden Plate For urns that feature an inset bottom plate, use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove all four screws. The urn may need to be turned fully upright for the plate to come out. If the plate still sticks, use a thin flat edge such as a ruler to pop out the panel. Place the ashes or bag of cremains directly into the empty space. For permanent sealing, an adhesive (not included) may be applied to the inner lip before re-installing the bottom screws and plate on the urn. Slider Top For the slider urn, simply pull the top out from the side with the hollow indentation. The indent can be used as a gripping point if the slide is a bit difficult initially. Insert the ashes or bag of cremains directly into the urn container space. To permanently seal the slide top, apply a small amount of adhesive (not included) to the recessed slide areas. Be sure to apply to the sides and the back recessed point for an even seal. Note: If urn is not sealed, the slide top can move freely and may fall out when tilted.
