Announcements

Mailing lists

If you or someone you know has experienced the death of their baby, it is likely that for many months they will be receiving "baby updates", free diapers, and advertisements for baby photographers. That is because you are entered into mailing lists from these vendors. To be removed from the mailing solicitations, send a letter requesting removal to:

Mailing Preference Service - PO Box 9008 - Farmingdale, NY 11735

For telephone solicitation removal:

Mailing Preference Service - Phone Preference - PO Box 9014 - Farmingdale, NY 11735

This will not stop every call or mailing, but it will catch the bulk. Keep in mind it may take several weeks to take effect.
