What are companion urns?
They are containers large enough to hold twice the amount of ashes as a typical cremation urn. Sometimes they are referred to as double urns.
Another use is to contain the ashes of a larger than average person.
Are both ashes mixed together or divided?
In some instances, the container is made large enough for the ashes of two people to be co mingled.
In others, there’s a divider included or there are two separate compartments or containers to separate the ashes of each one.
It’s a personal preference.
