Weird post office observation
I’m mailing a heavy parcel to Japan, so I was looking up the prices when I found this:
Observations 1. Human ashes may be accepted if presented for mailing by a licensed crematory or licensed mortuary. The ashes must be packed in a sealed metal container enclosed in a substantial outer container. There must be enclosed within the outer container, but outside the metal container, a certified copy of the death certificate and a statement or certificate executed by the crematory or mortuary to the effect that the ashes are those of the person named in the death certificate.
This is one of those things you didn’t know and didn’t really want to know.
