Post office wants me to send in a box
This is now the regulation as of March 2025. Why a huge box needs to be used to send a tiny amount of cremation ash is one of life's great mysteries but that's the post office for you. You can order the box here.
If you are purchasing a memorial with cremains, as of May 2025 you now have a few options:
- FedEx people and pets (~$15),
- USPS people and pet (~$50)
- UPS pet ashes (only) via UPS (~$15)
