Some years ago a friend of mine lived in NJ and his Dad was there also. When the Dad died he wanted to buried in his home State of Mississippi. The local funeral director handled the cremation and packaged the urn in a protective package. My friend then had the package shipped UPS to a family member who arranged the internment per the Dad's request. He also insured him for $2500.00 so UPS wouldn't get suspicious of a heavy package not being insured. Since then I have found that wasn't unique. We have a neighbor down here that has researched several companies that claim to handle worldwide cremation and make sure your ashes get delivered. Since he is a bit anal, his due diligence found that all the companies in and around TV, while having different names, are all owned by the same Corporation. He also found that the sales and marketing pitch was not mirrored in the contracts and when he wanted them added to the contract they all refused. Not having those sales promises added would have cost additional money depending on where he died. UPS sounds better all the time
