The I have followed several threads about Memorial Boxes that the woodturners here at SMC have posted. There is some remarkable work back in the wood turners archive.

With these inside dimensions the cremains box fits nicely.
8 11/16 x 6 13/16 x 4 5/8
These are the inside dimensions of the cardboard box that holds the plastic box.
I can't promise that all crematoriums will use the same box, but with every urn I've built for friends or their loved one the cremains came in the same box.

Thanks, Cliff. Since you alerted me to the way the ashes are handled, I'm going to stop at a mortuary near me and see if they use the same size in this area.

Mike,
See if you have a crematorium in your area and go there. You can probably acquire a box to keep for reference. The one I went to didn't charge for it.

Here's one I made for my Mother's ashes. Very simple and could have been adapted to a top opening box for interim use. This one had a fixed top and the bottom was screwed onto the sides after the ashes were loaded.
