Can I bring an urn on board?

We are very sorry for your loss. You can bring an urn on the plane, however there are a number of rules when traveling with an urn:

• You can only take the urn in your hand luggage or cabin bag. You are not allowed to take an urn as hold luggage. Check how much luggage you can take in the cabin.
• The urn must be well packed so that other travellers cannot see that it is an urn.
• You must not open the urn on board.
• You are required to bring a death certificate and statement from the crematorium with you, stating that the ashes in the urn belong to the deceased.
• The urn must not be made of metal.

Spreading the ashes at the destination

Do you want to scatter the ashes in a place that was important to you or where you experienced wonderful moments? The rules for scattering ashes vary from country to country. Before departure, make sure to check the rules that apply at your destination.

Death certificate

Keep the death certificate and statement from the crematorium handy at the airport, as you may need to present them at the security checkpoint.
