Instructions for sending the ashes will be provided in your order confirmation email from closebyme@gmail.com. This will reflect whether you have purchased a kit or not and how to proceed accordingly. Kits are not required, but many clients feel more comfortable using this to send the ashes in. The cost of the kit is reflective only of shipping and includes a ring sizing tool in addition to eveything you need to send the ashes securely. International clients are not eligible to receive kits as their prepaid labels will not be accepted outside of the US. All of my international clients are required to send the ashes in to my studio directly for this reason. I encourage any international clients to look into shipping regulations and guidelines for their region before placing an order with me.
