Shipping a Deceased Body Internationally

First of all, the body must be embalmed in compliance with US standards and shipped in a TSA approved transportation container. Also, some vital documents will be required to process the body at the airport and to travel with the body.

These documents include several copies of the deceased’s death certificate, the deceased’s passport, communicable disease and funeral home affidavits, and transfer permits. Translation of all documents may also be required if the body is being shipped to a non-English speaking country. The name and location of the funeral home that will receive the body in the country it is being shipped to must also be provided.

Transporting your deceased loved one’s cremated remains is not particularly as easy as you may think. No, you cannot simply check in the “cremains” (industry-speak for cremated remains) as carry-on baggage at the airport or just send it via the United States Postal Service (USPS) regular mail. Just as with transporting bodies, rules and regulations guide the transportation of cremated remains both locally and internationally either via air or the postal service.

Shipping Cremated Remains Via Air

When shipping cremated remains via an airline either domestically or internationally, you must make sure you meet the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requirement. This means that the cremains must be transported in a security-friendly container, so it can pass the routine X-ray scan at the airport without causing a delay.

If you are traveling with the remains, check your airline's rules and regulations to make sure that they allow passengers to carry cremains as check-in baggage or carry-ons. If you are not, then check if the airline carries cremains as air cargo, and make sure that it is properly labeled. In addition, you will also need several original signed documents, such as death certificate, cremation authorization forms and receipt, and a non-contraband affidavit.
