Cremated Remains
Cremated remains can be accepted as either carry-on or checked baggage.
Carry-on:
Remains must pass through the x-ray machine. If the container is metal and prevents the screener from clearly being able to see what’s inside, the container will not be allowed through the security checkpoint. TSA suggests the passenger purchase a temporary or permanent crematory container of lighter material such as wood or plastic which can easily be x-rayed. TSA is not allowed to open the container under any circumstances.
Checked Baggage:
A passenger may transport cremated remains as checked baggage provided the remains successfully pass through security screening.
Normal bag fees apply.
