Documents May Be Required
Before travelling, families should make sure they have the documents relating to the death and cremation.
Additional documentation may be needed depending on the airline and destination country.
Check With the Airline
Airlines can have different requirements for transporting cremated remains.
The type of urn, packaging and whether the ashes can travel as cabin or checked baggage should be confirmed before the journey.
Check the Destination Country
The country receiving the ashes may also have its own entry or customs requirements.
Checking these requirements in advance can help avoid problems during travel.
