Your remains will need a certain capacity and the cremation provider can give you the sizing you need for your remains. Take that size information and look at urns that are that size, or larger, so you know your remains are going to fit into that urn. You can get the urn from any location, but you need size information to help you understand the capacity you need.

Consider The Costs
