How much will be left of me?

A child may leave as little as 2.2 pounds (1Kg) ashes. The average man renders out to 7.4 pounds of cremains (3.4 Kg) and the average woman 5.8 pounds (2.6 Kg).

98% of people will fit in a 200 cubic inch urn (Cremation Association of North America survey). Apparently your ashes may fill more than one urn, especially if were a particularly large person. The further your remains are processed (powdered) the less volume you will occupy. If you were a fit young guy with denser bones, you will leave a greater volume of ash behind.
