We understand the requirements for getting your ashes through security so that you can rest assured your loved one will reach their final destination. Here is some important information on the TSA requirements for urns.

What Are the Requirements for TSA Approval for Urns?

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires cremated remains to be stored in a container that can be penetrated visually in the screening process. If the TSA agents are unable to see in the container with their screening equipment, you will not be able to take the urn on the plane. The TSA will not open your urn to inspect the contents. Your container must be scannable. 

Urns carrying cremated remains are usually transported inside the airplane as a carry-on. Some airlines will allow you to stow the cremated remains in your checked bags. Other airlines will not. Be sure to check the rules of the airline if you prefer to transport the travel urn with your checked luggage. 

Additionally, the TSA recommends that you purchase a crematory container that is made from a lightweight material. 

When you purchase a TSA approved urn at Memorials.com, you can rest assured knowing that your transport vessel will meet all these requirements.
