Beautiful Urn. Incorrect Dimensions

It's a beautiful and well crafted Urn. To remove the bottom plate (which slides out) you need a #1 phillips screwdriver.The dimensions, and cubic inches listed on the product page for the medium size Urn are both conflicting and incorrect. The text next to the item show dimensions of 5.5 x 5.5 x 9.5 and a 180 cu/in capacity, yet in the item "description" area below, the exterior size is listed as 5.5 x 5.5 x 9 and the interior dimensions as 5 x 5 x 8.I purchased this urn based on the listed interior dimension, as I did an actual cubic inch calculation prior to purchase which, using those measurements, calculated 200 cu/in and not the listed cu/in of 180.The urn exterior dimensions that I actually received are 5.5 x 5.5 x 9, which matches the size in the description area but not the height listed in the text area which is shown as 9.5" H.The interior dimensions of the urn I received are only 4.5 x 4.5 x 8.75 and not 5 x 5 x 8 which gave me an actual cu/in size of 177.9, not the 180 cu/in listed, or even 200 cu/in if you were to use the interior dimensions as they're listed.The Cremation Association of North America suggests a standard, adult size urn as 200 cu/in.Use your body weight to calculate the size that you need. For every pound that you weigh, you need one (1) cu/in of space. If you weigh 200 lbs, then you need an urn with a 200 cu/in capacity. Simple math. I suggest you allow a few pounds for clothes. I have no clue what they'd weigh after cremation. Most doctors offices subtract about 4 pounds when they weigh you.Other than having conflicting measurements in the listing, especially the interior dimensions, the Urn is beautifully handcrafted and I plan to purchase another.If you weigh 177.9 or less, you should fit in the medium sized urn. Don't hesitate. Buy it.

This beautiful box houses the sacred remains of my mother. The carving is beautiful. It is sturdy and pleasing to look at as well as being a place for the remains of a loved one. No problem here with this product.
