IT'S JAMES D!

It’s National Thank A Mail Carrier Day! ⚱️📦📫

Did you know that the United States Postal Service is the only (US) shipping company that ships cremated remains???

Urns can be mailed domestically or internationally, as long as the correct packaging requirements are followed. Basically, take extra precautions to ensure there’s no urn breakage or potential for “loose powder to leak or sift out.”

Use lots of fail safes, like including the destination address and name of deceased in multiple places in case a label falls off or gets damaged. Use a USPS provided shipping box and stickers for extra convenience and to increase visibility.

Be sure to follow your local and/or international laws and restrictions on transporting cremated remains (like including necessary documentation). Your funeral director can assist you with all of the above.

Definitely thank your mail carrier for delivering urns - they’re very heavy!
