Is it legal to ship cremated remains?

Contact customs and a courier company like FEDEX, DHL, or UPS. It is legal, but covered by some regulations and they will be able to tell you all about it.

Shipping cremated remains (from: http://www.funeralethics.org/cremains.htm)

UPS and FedEx will not accept cremated remains for shipment.

Cremated remains may be shipped through the U.S. Postal Service, but they must be shipped by registered mail with return receipt requested.

It would be a good idea to double-box the container, with adequate stuffing between the two boxes

yes, we had a family member pass last year, and was cremated, and we were given the choice of either going to the funeral home to pick up the remains or to have them mailed to us.

Yes you have to use the US Postal service and I’d get insurance on it.

Yes – my friend’s husband was mailed to her.
