Emily Walstrom said her father's cremated remains were put into the mail before Canada Post employees walked off the job on Nov. 15.
That day, Walstrom received a notification from Canada Post that there would be a delay in receiving her father's remains due to a "labour disruption."
She said a conversation with a Canada Post customer service representative this week left her feeling a mix of sadness and anger.
"They are unable to tell me where his ashes are currently ... they don't have the ability to know where they've ended up," Walstrom said.
"Are his ashes in the back of a Canada Post truck parked somewhere? ... I don't even know what province he is in at this point."
