rott Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Being brought from the UK. Do these have to be cleared in advance or can you just turn up at Heathrow and presumably declare them there. Is this a complex or simple matter, anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I know in the US there are no restrictions and no need to declare. Maybe check with your airline or UK customs website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedemon Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 No need to declare but the cremated remains must be in a container that can pass normal security xray scans. So a metal container is not suitable. Of course it would pay to have some documentation (e.g. copy of death certificate) in case of issues with security. I believe that either hand carry or checked luggage is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieeyed Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I just brought my mothers ashes from Canada to Thailand. Did not report anything and was not asked anything. I did have a Funeral Directors Statement of Death and a Certificate of Cremation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malt25 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I don't mean to be disrespectful & realize I'll get flamed for this, BUT, why would anyone want to take the ashes of a deceased anywhere ? Surely the fond, loving memories of past loved ones is all you need. But hey, just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 just throw them in an envelop and then in the bag ... they'll be fine you could disperse them over the water in Pattaya or on a nice beach somewhere, just make sure it's not too windy ...

They are from a long term English resident of Thailand who died in the UK and they are being brought over for his daughter here. Long story. Thanks for all the responses and help and advice offered. No need for any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieeyed Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I brought my mothers ashes back to Thailand with me because she always wanted to come visit me here, but because of health reasons could never make the trip. So I brought her over here and will spread her ashes in the ocean and she can travel where ever the currents take her. I know she would like that.
