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.
Respect for the dead, burial and Mourn for dead people. When a loved one dies, grieving family members and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions about the funeral - all of which must be made quickly and often under great emotional duress.

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).
