Lexy Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I'm looking for a reliable person to mail human cremated ashes in a U.S. post office. I have checked and ashes can be mailed in the U.S. using priority mail for a very reasonable price. (Cindy at San Francisco Funeral Home tells me they can do it for $4500 pesos(!) using the Mexican postal service, which I consider iffy.) These are my husband's ashes that I'm sending to his son. I will package them according to USPS instructions. Now I must find a way to mail the package in the States. Alex Peterson is no longer doing his package delivery service. If anyone is planning a trip to the States and will take my package to a post office I'd be very grateful. I would be glad to pay for this favor. Or perhaps you know of a service that crosses the border to do this. Lexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I used IShop for a small padded envelope to go to the border and be put in the US mail. It cost me 897 pesos. Your cost would be astronomical! Much cheaper to send thru a mule. Good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted March 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Thanks, Yo1, I'm hoping. I dread using Correo de Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Whatever you do don't use Mexican mail. You can't trust that your item will arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Actually USPS has a free box for Cremated Remains and yes it ships Priority Mail. Include the special tape and everything. So the trick would be to order it online foe delivery to whomever would be actually doing the mailing for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted March 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Thanks so much for this info, Pappysmarket. I'll order the box and tape online to be sent to me. I can have it ready to go if/when I hear from someone driving back to the States who's willing to take it along. I'll also have cash on hand in dollars to cover the postage. This is looking possible.
