If you are mailing in your ashes here is what you need to know:
We request 1 tsp of ash/piece. Not all of the ash will be used due to limitations of the material itself and all unused ash will be returned unless requested otherwise.
Please DOUBLE BAG the ashes, this is to ensure it does not open while in transit. Please label the ashes with the order number or name of the deceased.
