Cremation Urns and Air Travel
If the last will of a deceased person was for you to bury him/her in another state or even country, there are some things you should know about onboard transportation of cremation urns.
- As well as other things you transport onboard, cremation vessels need to pass security control, including X-ray. If an urn is made of the material that prevents it from passing the procedure, chances are you won’t be allowed to take it onboard.
- Be ready that aircraft security guards will make sure a vessel doesn’t contain explosive devices or other prohibited items inside.
- Every airline reserves the right to impose its own requirements on the transportation of cremation urns. Putting it in a wooden box, having a death certificate, forms from a crematorium, and other documents are among common requirements.
Pleasant Bonus

Urn as a Masterpiece
Just like most classic cremation urns, the Memorials4u Elite model is a vase-shaped vessel. An urn of this type and size (8” x 8” x 11”) will fit in a columbarium niche or find its place in your home if you want to keep the remains there.

Smooth cloud blue texture perfectly blends with three silver bands (on the lid, then on the widest and the narrowest parts of the body) engraved with a floral pattern. The manufacturer has also provided the vase with felt bottom, thus allowing you to protect the surface you will put the urn from scratches.
Safety Concerns
If you want to keep cremains of your deceased relative at home but aren’t sure it’s safe, we’d like to reassure you. Here is a bit of info about cremation procedure. It is carried out at 2000°F (sometimes, even higher) temperature that destroys all organic compounds. As a result, ashes don’t have any odor and don’t produce harmful evaporation. Plus, it was already mentioned that all cremation urns are hermetically sealed, and there’s no need to worry about any detrimental effect of their contents to your health.
Space Burial
It might seem awkward but space burial does exist, and what’s more interesting, it is becoming very popular nowadays. The idea of a space burial is to send tiny part of ashes (usually 0.03-0.25 ounces) into Earth orbit. The process resembles spacecraft (with ashes inside) going into orbit to burn. However, two more options are available – if you don’t want ashes to burn in space, it’s possible to send them to other planetary bodies or even far beyond our solar system.
Attractive Carry Bag
A black soft bag included in the box makes the urn transportation so much more convenient.

What is a Cremation Urn
Cremation is considered to be a more ecological and economical way of burial, that’s why it is becoming more and more popular nowadays. If it happened so you have to handle a cremation procedure, you will definitely need a cremation urn, a special vessel for storing the deceased person’s remains. Cremation vessels have a wide range of applications and can be buried in a memorial garden, kept in a columbarium, or stored at home. They also come in handy if you need to scatter ashes. It’s easy to get lost in a great number of models represented on the market: from the simplest box-shaped models to sophisticated urns with engraved inscriptions. To save you the trouble of surfing the Internet for hours looking for a suitable cremation container, we’ve picked five best models that might interest you.
What Features to Compare
Type and Capacity of a cremation urn are among the first features that should be taken into account before you make a choice. According to their shape and purpose, cremation vessels can be divided into classic urns (in the shape of vases), boxes, and cremation jewelry. As for the urn’s capacity, you want to be aware of one rule – 1 pound of body weight before cremation is 1 cubic inch of a vessel. So, if a person weighed 200 pounds during the lifetime, you’ll need to choose the urn of 200-cubic inch capacity. Sometimes, manufacturers mark their products as Adult/Large or Child/Infant to help you choose the right size.
Resting place and Material should be considered together since they depend on each other. If you’ve decided to bury your loved one in a cemetery, a wooden urn is the best choice as it biodegrades in time causing no harm to nature. Metal, porcelain, glass, and brass vases are equally good to be stored in a columbarium for years. Finally, if you want ashes of your close deceased person to remain at your home, choose the material that will blend with the interior of your apartment.

The easiest way to carry out the procedure is to do it in your own yard where no one can limit your actions. However, if you rent a house, you should ask your landlord for permission first.

But if you’re afraid to lose or damage a piece of cremation jewelry, it’s better to keep it far from water.
A: There are special memorial gardens where cremation urns can be buried. If you’ve decided to entomb an urn with ashes in the ground, it’s recommended to choose biodegradable models, for example, wooden ones that won’t harm the environment after decomposition.

A: Temporary cremation urns are cheap paper or plastic containers (usually made in the shape of boxes) that are used in crematoriums. Crematorium workers put cremains there after the ceremony and give these containers to relatives of a deceased person.
