Outer Shipping Package

To ship cremated remains you must use USPS Priority Mail Express Cremated Remains box. You can only order the Priority Mail Express Cremated Remains box online at The Postal Store® on USPS.com®. The boxes may also be available at select retail locations for immediate shipping needs.

Before sealing the USPS Priority Mail Express box, the Postal Service suggests placing an additional piece of paper inside that includes both the sender’s and recipient’s address and contact information. This precaution will help identify the sender and receiver if the shipping label becomes detached.
