Cremation Urns and Air Traveling
The information below has been taken from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration.
It is very important to follow these steps to assist making your travel plans go more smoothly.


You have two options for carrying a crematory container with you on your flights:

1. Carry-on: Passengers are allowed to carry a crematory container as part of their carry-on
luggage, but the container must pass through the X-ray machine. If the container is made of a
material that generates an opaque image and prevents the security screener from clearly being
able to see what is inside, then the container cannot be allowed through the security checkpoint.

2. Checked Baggage: Passengers may transport an urn or crematory container as checked
baggage provided that it is successfully screened. TSA will screen the urn for explosive
materials/devices using a variety of techniques; if cleared, it will be permitted as checked baggage
only.

NOTE: Some airlines do not allow cremated remains as checked baggage so please check with
your air carrier before attempting to transport a crematory container in checked baggage.

Please note the following additional information:

- Out of respect to the deceased and their family and friends, under no circumstances will a
screener open the container even if the passenger requests this be done. Documentation from the
funeral home is not sufficient to carry a crematory container through security and onto a plane
without screening.

- Crematory Container Materials: Crematory containers are made from many different types of
materials, all with varying thickness. At present, TSA cannot state for certain whether your
particular crematory container can successfully pass through an x-ray machine. However, TSA
suggests that you purchase a temporary or permanent crematory container made of a lighter
weight material such as wood or plastic that can be successfully x-rayed. The TSA will continue to
work with funeral home associations to provide additional guidance in the future.

- Please check with your air carrier about other restrictions that may apply.
