Im taking my family to Hawaii at the end of July. The question is, my Mom died last year and Id like to scatter her ashes in the ocean their somewhere, but do i need to make special arrangements for ashes to be transported on the plane or something? anyone know?

I would contact the airline that you plan to travel on and ask them. With the new TSA rules you might have some issues. I don't know if they would consider that a hazardous material or not. I'm not trying to be funny but my best advice would be to contact the airlines or TSA in Washington DC.

Thanks Gimpy!! I briefly looked at the Delta site, and they have compassionate care guidlines, IE: if your sending a coffin and such, so ill just call that number and tell them the situation and see what they suggest...they may just say 'pack 'er up in your suitcase'! sheesh, that wasnt very nice.. sorry Mom! LOL

Thanks again Gimpy!!
