NMFC 188240 - Stone Urns for Ashes | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Enter NMFC 188240 and Class 150 on the BOL; describe as “stone cremation urns, boxed” and request fragile handling to avoid reclass fees.
2. Pack each urn in a double‑wall corrugated box with rigid foam or molded inserts; immobilize the lid and rim. Add “This Side Up” and “Do Not Stack” labels.
3. For multi‑piece moves, place individual boxed urns in a master carton or on a mini‑pallet; use corner boards and tight stretch‑wrap to prevent crush.
4. Delivering to a residence or funeral home? Add appointment and liftgate service to reduce handling risk and prevent missed deliveries.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
