What Families Need to Know

Arlington National Cemetery has strict cremation urn requirements, including a maximum size of 9×9×9 inches, which limits the number of urns that are suitable for columbarium placement. Many standard adult urns exceed these dimensions, making it difficult for families to find compliant options. This page provides a carefully curated list of Arlington National Cemetery-approved urn options, including engravable wood urns, stone urns, and brass urns that fit within the required size limits. All urns listed are designed to hold the full cremated remains, as Arlington National Cemetery does not allow remains to be split.
