They got lost.

Lee says she shipped Deontray’s boxed ashes along with some gifts from a UPS store in Hiram, Georgia, to her sister’s address in Connecticut in early January. The package was supposed to arrive by Jan. 10.

Did the box have one of these labels?

I'm sure the porch pirates gave Deontay a proper send off.

I'll bet she didn't identify the package as remains.
It's actually a bit of a process to legally ship ashes.

When you ship something, you know there is a risk it will get lost.

Did you read this part?

Human remains just seem to me like one of those things you're better off hand delivering, just because of this risk.

I would suspect it didn't have the label because...

Will never cease to amaze me that people will use cheap service for an important package.

Did she use the Montrose CO funeral home for services?
Wasn’t Deontray anyways.

Yeah, I hate that for her but you can’t be mad at the process if you don’t follow the process.

She probably tried to save money by not properly declaring and labeling it and...well.
Guess Deontray is ashy now

Why not just ship the urn to Georgia empty and then she could put the ashes in herself???
I went to a funeral last year where the funeral home took care of the cremation and sold an urn to the family, but then someone from the family had to actually put the ashes from the crematorium's package into the urn. Funeral home staff wouldn't do it.

As a former UPS employee back in college…. Yea….. don’t ship anything you hold dear and that is irreplaceable via ANY parcel shipping service.
If people only knew.

I am pretty sure it is illegal to ship remains by any method other than the USPS. I had to do it last year.

I know someone who had their ex-husband's ashes in a cardboard box on a shelf in the closet. Her house got robbed and the box was taken.
A few weeks later the box was on the front porch when she got home from work. Thieves didn't want that bad juju on them. Knowing the ex-husband I bet he had fun going on the joy ride.
