[CBQ] Re: Shipping human remains by rail

["Douglas Harding" <doug.harding@iowacentralrr.org>]

Regulations vary from state to state. To transport human remains, esp across
state lines or internationally, requires paperwork, including a death
certificate. Which may be why most deal with a certified funeral director to
make arrangements for transportation. A funeral director will drive some
distance to pick up a body, but if the distance is great the remains are
shipped via rail or air.

 

Cremains are different, and individuals can carry cremains with them on the
plane or train, but each airline has different regulations. Here is the
TSA's instructions regarding cremains:
