Kayleigh, from Swansea, South Wales, posted the touching tribute to her aunt Michelle 250 miles away in Colchester, Essex, five weeks ago.

But it never arrived.

She said: “Royal Mail hasn’t got a clue where the necklace and the ashes are. My auntie’s devastated. They blamed it on a strike first of all.

“Part of my mother’s floating around somewhere. It’s heartbreaking.”
