The U.S. Postal Service has strict requirements for mailing cremated remains (human or pet). As of 2025, all remains must be shipped in a special USPS cremated remains box, sealed with USPS tape. Other boxes or mailers are not permitted and may result in delays or returned shipments. This is a nationwide policy, and the options below will help to make the process simple and stress-free.
