Any problems encountered will be with the TSA. Continental has no restrictions on urns that I know of. The TSA will insist on X-raying the container with the ashes. Important details can be found here:
Passengers are allowed to carry a crematory container as part of their carry-on luggage, but the container must pass through the X-ray machine. If the container is made of a material that generates an opaque image and prevents the security screener from clearly being able to see what is inside, then the container cannot be allowed through the security checkpoint. ...Under no circumstances will a screener open the container even if the passenger requests this be done.
