It's pretty cold and heartless to send a loved ones ashes through the post. Not that that is the fault of Aust post and I feel for the poor mailmen who have to deliver them.
My daughter answered a knock at the door last week and the poor postie handed her her mothers ashes.
The experience of having her mum turn up in a little box in the mail has affected her in a way that no kid should have to go through and I can not thank the postie enough for the way he stayed with and comforted my daughter until I got there.

As for aus post and registered post ... well what used to happen
was registered mail was treated very differant to ordinary mail at each
forwarding point it was signed in and balanced against a desptatching invoice from the previous transit point .. and it arrived seperately and was processed first as the customer had paid for that service ..while this didn't actaually take a long time out of your day it was a MUST get right within your mail handling .We used to proceess 50 /60 kg of gold a week from some customers and often the ashes of deceased loved ones so you could not stuff this up ..and the the paperwork attached assured you couldn't ..as each step was so regulated .
Today ?? .. I think its just a sticker on a package that needs a signiture
buy your insurance guys !!..and cross the fingers
