When you're looking for a beautiful dolphin urn, you're sure to find the right piece from the selection at Perfect Memorials. Often considered a symbol of the spirit and helpers to humankind, many people simply enjoy the playful grace of this animal. You can find dolphin urns in brass, wood, resin, and other materials.
Many people who choose dolphin urns do so simply because they love this animal or the ocean in general. These graceful creatures can be incorporated into the urn as a photo, an engraving, a sculpture, or even a carving. The dolphin is usually shown leaping from the water, a symbol of life and ascension.
Dolphin Urn Sizes
The most important part of choosing an urn, aside from what it looks like, is to make sure that it's big enough to hold all of the cremains that you wish to store. You can find the cremation urn volume clearly marked on all products from Perfect Memorials. The number of cubic inches that the urn holds needs to be equal to or greater than the weight of the individual at the time of cremation. In other words, if the deceased weighed 150 pounds, you'll need a dolphin urn that holds at least 150 cubic inches. When in doubt, choose an urn that has a little more space than you think you'll need.
Dolphin urns are available in all different sizes, from keepsake urns that hold only a small amount of ashes to large urns that hold 200 cubic inches or more. You can even choose an extra-large urn that holds more than 400 cubic inches, which may be large enough to hold the cremains of two individuals.
Personalizing Your Dolphin Urn
Many dolphin urns can be personalized, although the location and amount of engraving will vary, depending on the size and style of the urn. In those cases where the urn itself cannot be engraved, you may be able to add an urn medallion or urn pendant instead. In most cases, the name of the deceased, dates, and a brief message can be included, although there may be space for more.
