Stan Reese takes a fair number of business trips each year. But he's not attending a trade conference or business meeting. Instead, he’s flying all over the country with cremated human ashes in his carryon.
Reese, 59, has carved out a job as something of an ashes administrator, acting as a courier to transport cremated remains to their final resting place. Though he initially focused on journeys to Alaska to scatter ashes, Reese’s company, Eternal Alaska, now incorporates other destinations from Central Park in New York City to the Gulf of Mexico.
