Just like how one can ship their favourite clothes from their favourite overseas stores, it is also possible to Ship Cremains of their loved ones be it so as to release them in the sea or to reach a loved one residing in a faraway place. To ship remains, one has to consider the density of the activity and the emotions of those who are directly affected.

For this practice to be done successfully there are factors that ought to be considered the major one being packaging. The remains should be packed in siftproof containers and be well sealed so as to keep anything from getting in or getting out. This one small step ensures that the remains are intact as they should be packaging can also be wooden boxes or decorative urns.

Now that packaging of choice has been used, it must be labelled with several details being compulsory for all packages, domestic or international. Name of the sender and their complete address, the relationship one has with the deceased, the phone number of the sender and the recipient and if one has special requests of delivering the package it should all be included on the package.

This type of shipping is available both domestically and internationally and a company that excels in this is United States Postal Service and they send cremains using priority mail under Label 139. When shipping domestically a guarantee of two days maximum is assured given that the sender identified the contents to avoid mix-ups and they also gave correct details and addresses.

Just describing the process may make it sound easy and straight forward but on the contrary, it is a very tricky process especially if airlines are involved. The rise of terror attacks almost in every country has to be the biggest source of concern and has seen many policies being put in place. This concern saw a policy put in place in 2004 that cremation containers be X-rayed and scanned before shipping.

It even becomes harder if the shipment is to be internationally delivered considering that almost all country have their demands on the issue. Some even demand that the Embassy be directly informed first before so as the sender can be equipped with all the rules and regulations to follow. For ease with this, a trusted international funeral service should be consulted.

One very crucial way to ensure successful shipping is ensuring you use a packaging container that can be considered Security Friendly. Most airlines and shipping companies will simply hold a package because they see it is as a threat due to their make-up or appearance. It is wise to stick to a typical standard urn that will not arise any concern due to unfamiliarity.

Despite all the hindrances one may face, there are companies dedicated to making this emotional and draining process go by smoothly. United States Postal Service is one of the companies that has made it easy provided you use the Label 139 they have issued to their clients as an attempt to ease the burden.
