A UK woman won £1,000 after her mother’s ashes were delayed, mishandled, and partially lost during a postal return.
A UK woman received £1,000 in compensation after her mother’s ashes were mishandled during a postal return, the Financial Ombudsman ruled.
The ashes, part of a prepaid funeral plan, were delayed beyond the promised 7 June 2024 deadline and sent through an EU country due to an address error, triggering a customs fee paid by the daughter.
The package arrived improperly sealed, causing spillage and loss.
The ombudsman criticized the use of standard international postal service for human remains, citing risks and weight restrictions, and found the funeral provider’s initial response inadequate.
The decision emphasized the need for secure, dignified handling of ashes, acknowledging the emotional distress caused.
