A companion urn is an urn designed to hold more than one person.
In some cases, it is meant for two people, like a mother and father or husband
and wife. In other instances, you can fit even more than two people’s ashes in
a companion urn. Many companion urns are comprised of two separate urns that
come together with the help of a base to create one cohesive unit, but you can
also purchase one urn with two separate or one joined chamber for the ashes.
While an oversized urn CAN be used as a companion urn, assuming the total
weight does not exceed the cubic inch capacity of the urn, this type of urn is
also used for people that are larger than the standard adult urn capacity will
hold.
