I am looking for information on cremation urns. I plan on making one
for my future use ( a long time from now, I hope) out of wood. I know
they are sized at about 1 cu.in. / pound of person. Do they require a
liner or are they just a fancy box? I have Doug Stowe's books on box
making so I have a lot of ideas for boxes. Ideas and suggestions are
appreciated. Thanks, JG

The crematorium will put the remains through a pulverizer so that you
are left with loose ash. The packaging may be different among
different funeral homes but the one I have experience with was a
plastic box about 4"x6"x3". The box I made for it is the simple teak
box on this page:

I think turned urns are more popular than boxes.
