If you're planning to fly with cremation jewelry, you may be wondering if it's even allowed.  Losing a loved one is never easy, one way help cope with that loss is to wear cremation jewelry, which is a piece of jewelry that contains a small amount of ashes. These are precious emblems to hold your loved one close and it may be something you don't want to take off. Lets answer the question of if you can wear cremation jewelry while flying. 

Firstly, it's important to note that cremation jewelry is generally allowed on flights. The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) does not prohibit wearing cremation jewelry or bringing it on board a flight. 

There are some things to you should keep in mind when traveling with cremation jewelry. If it's a necklace, bracelet, earring, or ring know that you can wear it during your flight. But you many need to remove them while you are going through the TSA security check at the airport. 

When going through the TSA security check, they require that you remove any metal items you're wearing, which includes your cremation jewelry. You can either put the jewelry on a tray with other items going through the x-ray machine or place it in your carry on bag. If you're traveling with a loved one's ashes, you'll need to declare them to the TSA officer before going through security. They may need to inspect the container or packaging that the ashes are in.
