Most airlines allow cremated remains on board as carry-on or checked baggage, but the container holding the remains must pass through the x-ray machine or it will not be allowed through security. Cremated remains can also be air-shipped as cargo but only by known shippers (a “known shipper” is designated as such after passing inspection and qualification rules set by the US Transport Security Agency [TSA]). In addition, to transport remains on an airplane, you must provide a death or cremation certificate for the cremated remains in order to carry them on board.

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” - Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss talks a lot about love and loss in his writing. One of his children’s books that explores emotions from loss and struggles is “My Many Colored Days.”

Another famous quote of his is this, “Life’s too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.”

If I could send a ‘digital care package’ to the caregivers in my life, I think it’d have these things and more!

We are so grateful for the caregivers in our community, both family members who step in and professional caregivers. They deserve special recognition and endless support.

Both your loved one and the team will appreciate the support. Be sure to have your loved one’s favorite snack and drink ready too. Which teams will you be rooting for?

Our most frequent questions begin with, “Is it okay if…(fill in the blank)?”

We get a lot of questions where people are unsure of if they can do something or even suggest something for their own funeral, or when arranging for a loved one. We welcome these questions every time.

In fact, we wish there were more of them. When you come to us with specific questions or requests, we end up with a more unique and personalized experience for those attending the funeral. You know yourself and your family best, so... ask away!

We take great care in answering this common question. Just like adults, children’s grieving journeys can begin at a funeral. So the short answer is yes.

The long answer: We think it’s best that you share with your children as much as possible in preparation of what they will experience. Explain to them that there will be people there that are sad, and even crying. Be sure to let them ask as many questions as they can in advance. For babies, toddlers and very young children, it is up to you if you think they can participate in a visitation, funeral, celebration of life, or gathering.

“Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve.” - Earl Grollman

What emotions do you feel from your grief? Don’t let anyone lead you to think that there is a timeline or any organization to grief. Sometimes grief feels like fear, other times like anxiety, many times sadness, and even it feels like bittersweet moments in the present.

“It takes an incredible amount of strength and courage to work your way through grief, to make sense of life again, and to carry on living and moving forward.” - Unknown

We know that your life will never be the same without your loved one, and that grief never really goes away, it just evolves.
