Thanks for this. I have the paperwork but lack the confidence. Your reply helps.Hello Jacobus,
One of my friends did this same thing a couple of years ago. He flew from the UK to Spain. The remains were carried in his hold baggage.
He spoke with the airline he used beforehand. The airline advised there would not be a problem but that the remains should be a container that would allow the contents to be X rayed, and that a copy of the cremation/death certificate should be carried by him if asked for.
He made the trip without incident and as things turned out, was not asked for the certificate. I don't know if his experience was typical.
Buen Camino
Thank you. That will work as a plan B should my postal service plan fall through.While it looks like this would not be required, there is a coat check service at Dorval, and it appears that you can check other items. I am not entirely familiar with their limitations but you could call and ask if you could check your brother's remains in a worst case scenario.
And as everyone mentioned above, bring your paperwork, and have an electronic copy scanned and available to you through dropbox or another method.

One of my Camino friends did this without any problems. Suffice to say it was a very private part of their camino and not shared with others. Do it as it seems right for you and your brother.Good Morning,
I leave for Porto in 36 hours and have a delicate question. Im afraid in this case that I will need fact based answers and with respect I request that those answering please do not offer opinions as they will not be helpful.
In Dec. my brother passed away. In keeping with his wishes he was cremated and his cremains divided amongst family members.
He was physically unable to do the Camino but over time was my biggest supporter and would sit for hours with me going over photos and listening to my Camino stories.
I would like to take my portion of the cremains on the Portuguese not to leave there but simply to have him with me. It would mean a lot to me. Ihesitate to go through security undeclared as I live 2 hrs from my departing airport and if I am rejected I have no one to leave the cremains with. If I declare the remains I may not have time to address the requiements either in Canada for departure or in Portugal for arrival.
I know this is a weird topic but if you have flown from Montreal to Porto under these circumstances or you are aware of Portuguese travel regs can you please offer your experience? Can I just put the remains securely in my checked in baggage?
Thank you
Jim
