Taking Pet dog ashes on flight
Hi all, my wife finally flys over in a couple of weeks, one of our dogs has passed away and we have her ashes. My wife is desperate to bring them with her and scatter them here once we are settled. I’m trying to find out if anyone has experience of taking ashes from U.K. to Canada. Did you have any problems either side. Her ashes are in a sealed scatter tube. Thanks |
Re: Taking Pet dog ashes on flight
My Canadian husband will be cremated upon death and his ashes buried with his son in Greenwood, NS when the time comes. Having researched how to get the ashes there if I travel via plane rather than driving, I was told that I would need to bring the certificate from the cremorium that specify what is in the container. Perhaps it is the same for bringing in the ashes of a pet. I know when we have had a pet cremated we were provided with a certificate along with the ashes.

Re: Taking Pet dog ashes on flight
Who are you flying with? Air carriers have different policies.
In Canada, you can take ashes with you and there are special screening procedures at security. The UK probably has something similar. |

Have you tried googling to find out what the policies are?

I brought my son's ashes to Canada in 2016 no problem. The container needs to be able to be opened should security want to verify the contents but otherwise no issues.

Her ashes are in a sealed scatter tube but it can be opened if required. did you fly from the UK? It’s good to hear other people’s experiences of traveling with ashes. We have done lots of google searches and found lots of people asking the same questions. We have found this document from CBSA. https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publicat...19-9-3-eng.pdf |

As long as security can see through it on the x-ray it should be fine.
This is the policy in Canada, can't see the UK being much different. https://www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca/en/cremated-remains |

I couldn't find the edit button. Just found this on Heathrow's website for you.
Can I carry ashes through security and on board the aircraft?Yes, however, we recommend the urn for the ashes is made of a material that can be x-ray screened – lead-lined containers for example cannot be processed through the x-ray. Where this isn't possible, the ashes may be subject to additional security measures as we are obliged to ensure that all hand luggage meets UK security requirements |

Re: Taking Pet dog ashes on flight
I brought a mini urn back with some of my Mum, she came as hand luggage. At screening I was asked what it was, I told them and that was that.
