Many families choose to repatriate cremated remains to another state or country for cultural, religious, personal or financial reasons.
While the process is generally straightforward, there are a number of requirements that need to be met before cremated remains can be transported.

For some international destinations, there may also be additional requirements involving the relevant Consulate or Embassy.
