If you’re here because you’re trying to make one practical decision after losing your Pembroke Welsh Corgi, I’m so sorry. This guide helps you choose an urn size that fits comfortably—without guesswork.
Quick answer
- Rule of thumb: choose about 1 cubic inch per pound of body weight.
- Most adult Pembrokes are under or around 30 lb, so a good starting estimate is up to ~30 cubic inches minimum.
- Comfort range: add ~15–20% so the inner bag settles easily (for a 30 lb dog, that’s about 36 cubic inches).
- Most Pembroke Welsh Corgis fit best in a Medium urn (25–60 cubic inches) for a calm, easy fit.

The sizing rule (1 cubic inch per lb) and why we still size up
Urn capacity is measured in cubic inches. A practical estimate is 1 cubic inch per pound of body weight. Many families choose a bit more than the minimum because it makes placement easier and helps avoid a tight closure—especially if the weight you have is an estimate.
If you’d like a quick double-check, use the Pet Urn Size Calculator and compare it with the Urn Size Chart & Complete Guide.
Pembroke Welsh Corgi weight to urn capacity (cubic inches)
If you have a recent vet record, use that number. If not, use your best estimate and choose extra capacity for comfort. Corgis can be surprisingly sturdy for their size, so many families prefer the “comfort” number.
| Your Corgi’s weight | Minimum capacity (1:1) | Comfort capacity (add ~20%) | Usually a good fit in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 lb | 20 cu in | 24 cu in | Small (snug) or Medium (more breathing room) |
| 25 lb | 25 cu in | 30 cu in | Medium (recommended) |
| 30 lb | 30 cu in | 36 cu in | Medium |
Which Funeral.com size category fits most Pembroke Welsh Corgis?
Most Pembroke Welsh Corgis fit best in a Medium pet urn. Medium typically covers 25–60 cubic inches, which gives comfortable room for many Corgis—especially if you want a calm, easy closure and a little extra space.
Tip: Shop by listed capacity. Some designs (especially photo urns or memory-box styles with compartments) can have less usable interior space than they appear to from the outside.
Size up if… (a simple rule that prevents a tight fit)
Size up if your dog’s weight is an estimate, your dog is a mix, your dog is big-framed or very muscular, you want room for mementos (tag, note, fur clipping), or you want the easiest closure with the inner bag. If you’re choosing between two sizes, the larger option is usually the calmer choice because it avoids a tight fit.
Sharing plan options (keepsakes and jewelry)
If more than one person wants a portion of ashes, a gentle plan is one primary urn plus keepsakes (or jewelry) so you don’t have to reopen the main urn repeatedly.
