Cremated Remains

Choosing a transport option

Families may need to take cremated remains on a flight or arrange shipment. The suitable option depends on the origin, destination, carrier, container, and required documents.

For air travel, confirm the airline’s rules and applicable security-screening requirements before booking. International travel may also require destination-country approvals or supporting documents.

For shipment, confirm whether the chosen carrier accepts cremated remains on the specific route and which packaging, labeling, and documentation rules apply. Ask about receiving arrangements and possible costs before proceeding.

Timing and costs

There is no single timeline or fixed cost for every family. Ask for a route-specific estimate, an explanation of any outstanding approvals, and a written breakdown of charges.

If you have a preferred service date, share it early so its feasibility can be discussed.
