Transporting Ashes
International Aviation Guidelines
Transporting ashes internationally generally requires adherence to specific aviation guidelines, which vary by country and airline. Most airlines allow ashes to be carried in carry-on luggage, but they must be in a non-metallic, x-ray-transparent urn for security screening. Documentation, including a death certificate and cremation certificate, is often required to clear customs.
Check Airline & Country Rules
Use an X-Ray-Friendly Urn
Carry Documentation
Keep in hand luggage
Allow Extra Time
Before traveling, confirm requirements with the airline, as well as the consulate of the destination country, to ensure a respectful and compliant journey for your loved one’s ashes.
India and Middle Eastern Countries:
Transportation is generally allowed, but additional clearances from consulates or embassies may be required. Ensure all documentation is prepared in advance.
United Kingdom, United States, and Canada:
Ashes are permitted in carry-on luggage, but documentation is required for customs. The urn must be non-metallic and pass x-ray screening.
Europe
Regulations are similar, but each country may have specific requirements. It is essential to confirm both airline and destination country rules.
