Product description

Liliane Memorials designed this urn specifically to help you travel safely with your loved one's cremains

TSA Approved for airplane travel

This urn meets all the requirements of the TSA, which has the following policies:

  • Travelers are allowed to travel with cremains in a checked bag or carry on (check with your airline for their specific requirements)
  • TSA recommends carrying cremains in a carry-on bag to help protect the contents from the risks associated with checked baggage because checked bags are subjected to rapid and sometimes rough movement along a series of conveyor belts as they make the trek to and from the aircraft.
  • Crematory remains in carry-on must pass through the X-ray machine to be screened. If the X-ray operator cannot see the remains clearly, the remains will not be permitted.
  • Metal urns cannot be X-Rayed
  • Crematory remains are one of the many sensitive items that could be exploited by someone wanting to conceal a dangerous item. TSA officers will not open containers with cremated remains, even if the passenger requests this be done.
  • Some airlines do not allow crematory remains in checked baggage, so check with your airline first.

TSA RECOMMENDS:

  • To facilitate screening, we suggest that you purchase a temporary or permanent crematory container made of a lighter weight material, such as wood or plastic.
  • If the container is made of a material that generates an opaque image, TSA officers will not be able to clearly determine what is inside the container and the container will not be allowed.
  • Out of respect for the deceased, TSA officers will not open a container, even if requested by the passenger.

OUR TRAVEL URN MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TSA FOR AIR TRAVEL

Inner Liner Bag

  • You can use the storage bag you received at the funeral home or the included clear bag
  • 3 mil bag for protection and security

Perfect Seal

  • The urn's lid has "teeth" that fit inside the walls of the urn to achieve a completely sealed closure for safe travel.
  • Urn can be opened and closed securely again and again.
  • Make sure that the snaps are properly closed (they make a solid sound when they click shut).
  • This special closure seals shut while also allowing you to reopen and reclose it securely.

Safety Buckle for an Extra Layer of Protection

  • Final closure to provide an extra layer of protection
  • Urn can be opened and closed securely again and again.

Travel Safely

  • TSA does not allow travelers to carry ashes in metal urns on planes.
  • This is because metal urns cannot be X-rayed. Also, TSA will not open an urn full of ashes to inspect.
  • Our travel urn meets all TSA requirements for X-ray safety.
  • Molded polypropylene thermoplastic polymer provides a strong, yet light urn that can be safely transported or used for long-term storage.

Perfect if you do not want to travel with Cremains
