HUMAN REMAINS: Memorializes the United States Congress to create penalties for improperly mailing cremated human remains

This Louisiana concurrent resolution (HCR 60) requests that the U.S. Congress create penalties for improperly packaging or labeling cremated human remains when mailed. It highlights that while the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has specific packaging and labeling requirements for cremated remains, there are currently no penalties for violations - unlike for hazardous materials. The resolution asks Congress to address this gap to ensure remains are handled respectfully and safely during shipping.
