Transporting of the Deceased

• You are allowed to carry-on a crematory container, but it must pass through the x-ray machine.  If the container is made of a material that prevents the screener from clearly being able to see what is inside, then the container will not be allowed through the security checkpoint.  
• Under no circumstances can the screener open the container at any time.
• If the contents are not clear going through the carry-on x-ray machine then there is a possibility that it will be unclear going the checked baggage x-ray machine and therefore will not be allowed on the airplane. For this reason, at this point we recommend that you ship the crematory container through a private shipping company.  
• Please check with your air carrier about other restrictions that may apply.
