But would you want to deal with explaining to security what is in the ashes? Never know what they will freak about. I'd be real nervous with such precious cargo.

i would just tell them the truth im not aware but is there any biological hazard to transporting ashes

Probably not. I was just concerned that they get real nervous about alot of things on a plane(ky-jelly??) that it would be better to ask and be up-front. Failing that they could be shipped on a cargo-only transport I imaging.

No...You can take them anywhere....Some people are crazy and carry their deseased loved ones ashes everywhere...Well I'm not 100% sure but I don't see a reason why it would be a problem!

The airline and N. Irish customs should be able to tell you that pretty easy. I can't imaging why not. Other than some anti-terror over-prevention
g'luck and may he rest in peace with the God of his choice.
