I too am sorry for your loss.

The link themicah posted has good information. I would strongly consider keeping the following in mind if you do choose to transport them with you.

#Out of respect for the deceased, the screener may not open the container under any circumstance.
# Crematory Container Materials: Crematory containers are made from many different types of materials, all with varying thickness. At present, TSA cannot state for certain whether your particular crematory container can successfully pass through an x-ray machine. However, TSA suggests that you purchase a temporary or permanent crematory container made of a lighter weight material such as wood or plastic that can be successfully x-rayed.
(bold mine)

Best wishes, and again, I am sorry for your loss.
