Henry VII's seal

  • alina petrs said:
    That's a fascinating document with an incredible history! Handling such a precious item must require immense care. It reminds me of the stress I felt just mailing some important corporate documents recently. I used Federal Apostille to manage it. As a private courier service, they aren't affiliated with the government, but their secure pickup and mailing gave me real peace of mind, especially since the actual processing times are always up to the agencies.

    This is also where his ashes were laid to rest. A tombstone stands there now commemorating his work and life in Antigua.
