The following categories break down by size the interior holding space in these urns.
Keepsake urns:

medium 15 cubic inches, about a cup.
large 20 cubic inches, about a cup and a half.
Keepsake urns are for a small portion of ashes.
Perfect for sharing with special people, family members and friends,
and/or for keeping a small portion after burying, or spreading the majority elsewhere.

Touchstone urns:
Substantial pieces with larger holding capacity. They can be kept in a home, buried in an above or underground crypt,or placed in a mausoleum or columbarium niche.
These are designed to hold all or a major portion of cremains. I break them down further into
Medium Touchstone urns: 35 to 100 cubic inches
a bout 2 cups to a little more than half a gallon of volume and
35 cubic inches 2 cups +/-
50 cubic inches about 3 cups
75 cubic inches about a quart
100 cubic inches 7cups, not quite half gallon in volume.
Large Touchstone urns: 150-250 cubic inches
just over half a gallon to up to 2 gallons in volume.
From 30 cubic inches through 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 and 250+ cubic inch capacities.
The cubic inches correspond to approximate size in pounds. For example, remains of a 30 lb animal
would be approximately 30 cubic inches. A 75 pound dog would have approximately 75 cubic inches of cremains and a being of 150 pounds would leave about 150 cubic inches of space on cremains.
