Air Travel With Cremation Urns Ashes

TSA Guidelines for Memorial Urns

TSA (Transportation Security Administration) have some rules followed by conditions to travel with cremated remains. Follow these simple guidelines and make travel easy.

The TSA outline has two options to bring the cremated remains in air bus or flight. They are,

1. Carry-on Luggage

When some one wishes to travel in flight with cremation ashes, need to follow this simple first step i.e., urn must be scanned by the x-ray machine at the check point, because of travelers safety. So TSA check the urn as priority of high security precaution. You can travel if your cremation urn is accepted by TSA teams. If the urn is not passed by TSA point, won’t be allowed in to the flight to take it on-board.

2. Checked Baggage

We can carry the funeral urns in flight on-board as check luggage after TSA permission to travel. TSA people never open the memorial urns to check. They scan the urn for contains of any explosive material or devices in any different methods. If the scanning is successfully then allowed to travel on-board as checked baggage. But some airlines organizations are not allowing the cremated remains on to the board. So need to check with the company if they are allowing or not.

Funeral urns are made of different materials. But TSA can allow some materials which are properly analyzed in their x ray machines. So we are suggesting some of the below urn’s which are made with and easily allowed.

• Wood Cremation Urns
