Thanks- that makes me feel better! I probably have to be more careful in Central America since there may be more Catholic sentiment there. I remember somewhere reading about a woman whose husband died suddenly in a Central American or South American country where cremation was illegal. She had to bury him there and go home to the US because she couldn't afford to repatriate his body. My main concern had been getting through the TSA at my home airport without any issues but catocony's responses have reminded me that the country I'm entering may have an issue as well.

I've also sent an e-mail to an old HS friend of DH's, who scattered some ashes of a mutual friend of theirs in the Panama Canal, to ask how he got them there.
