What kind of urn are you talking about? There are loads of different types of vessel used by the ancient Greeks. The big ones, which I assume you mean, were generally used for storage or transport - of wine, grain, olive oil, water, etc. However, up until the Geometric period, ceramic vessels, some of them very large, were used as funeral markers placed on top of graves. The Dipylon vase is one such example, and it's quite bit - about 6 feet tall. In some cases in the archaic and classical periods (I think), cremated human remains were put into vessels and these were buried, sometimes with objects or smaller vessels relating to the dead person's life. But in order to have one's ashes buried in a pot, or have one on top of your grave, you had to be fairly rich. Very rich indeed in the case of the Dipylon vase, which really is equisite.
