After placing your order with Cherished Keepsakes, you will be sent two containers — an inner container and an outer container: The inner container will be durable enough to protect and securely contain the contents inside (about 1-3 ounces of cremains/ashes). It must be labeled and properly sealed so that it does not allow loose powder to leak or sift out during transit. Please place the inner container into the second container and seal it before placing it in the mailing kit.

Before closing and sealing the shipping box or package, complete the included form with both the sender’s and addressee’s address and contact information inside the box [please print clearly]. If for any reason, the address label on the box/package is obscured or lost, postal employees will still be able to identify the sender and receiver of the package. We highly recommend you use the small USPS Priority Mail box. The Postal Service offers the free boxes to customers who use Priority Mail service.
