I always thought if you attached one of those postage
paid labels, like on magazine subscription cards that fall out of the pages to say, a cinder block, it would cost the recipient, company xyz, the price of postage for one cinder block. I don't know if it would work, and my mailman's almost as lazy as I am, but I do want to try it once, just to see if it works.

Very good suggestions.  I've never done any of these before, but it sounds like fun.

Re: I can do this...
Ciel,
     This is the perfect conversation or sales pitch stopper! I wonder if he believed you. Who knows what weird practices Mormons, Republicans, North Koreans and other terrorists might probably follow in cases of a family death, like that? I do know that all societies abhor rotting corpses laying around, stinking to high heaven!

I can do this...

My defense against phone solicitors was to just say, "No thanks, we don't need any." 

Once, though, a funeral plan salesman called. 

I was already saying it, when I realized it was his ideal opening...  so I kept on talking.  What came out was, "No thanks, we don't need that...   We eat our dead."
