Unable to host a funeral due to the pandemic, Kevin Lynch was waiting for his mother's ashes to come in the mail.
With COVID-19 holding much of the nation at a standstill, Kevin Lynch was unable to have a funeral for his mother. Now, he’s suffering a second loss after a package thief appears to have stolen her cremated remains.
The Washington, D.C. resident and U.S. Navy commander first thought his mother’s ashes had been lost in the mail. He was expecting them to arrive on April 15 from a California funeral home and when they didn’t, he contacted the post office. But postal authorities said the package had been delivered. Lynch said he was eventually able to obtain surveillance footage from his apartment building, which appeared to show the box being taken. So he filed a police report Thursday and D.C.
Lynch was with his mother when she died, but due to the pandemic delaying her cremation, he returned home and had the urn sent to him by priority overnight express mail.
