Open a safety deposit box. Put items in box. Leave detailed instructions at bank to close box on certain date. They will open it/and or contact you when it expires. You will then get it mailed to you by the bank or they will contact you regarding how to pick it up. Pay in advance (If you have the cash.)

Reader Robin Spoerl was reminded of the Diego Goldberg’s excellent family portrait project which we wrote about here about a year ago!
