Does anybody know what paperwork you need to take cremains on a United Airlines flight (in your carry-on)? |
Travel Info I'm taking my mom's ashes back to Pennsylvania to be buried. Travel Tips First let me say I feel you pain. I lost my mother in Feb. As for your question? I got this from the TSA on this http://www.tsa.gov Transporting the Deceased Crematory Containers The Funeral Homes listed in the PDF below have agreed to transfer remains from a temporary container to a permanent container free of charge. This complimentary service is provided to the traveling pubic so that air travel passengers can pass through TSA security checkpoints with a temporary crematory container and upon final destination have the remains transferred for free by their local TSA Funeral Home Partner. Passengers may transfer the remains themselves but have the option of utilizing this free service. Note: TSA does not endorse any of these private institutions and is not responsible for their services. * List of TSA Funeral Home Partners (PDF 276KB) (9/9/2005) You have two options for carrying a crematory container with you on your flights: * Carry-on: You are allowed to carry-on a crematory container, but it must pass through the x-ray machine. If the container is made of a material that prevents the screener from clearly being able to see what is inside, then the container will not be allowed through the security checkpoint. |
