What
can I use
to permanently
seal my urn
after the
ashes have
been added?
E-6000 is
a clear silicon
product made
by GOOP. It
costs approximately
$4 per tube,
and can be
found at most
craft supply
stores.
How
do I know
what size
urn to buy?
The general
rule is 1
cubic inch
per pound.
The cremains
from the pet
crematory
or veterinarian
are often
placed in
a poly bag,
which is closed
with a twist
tie. The bag
is sometimes
placed in
a cardboard
or plastic
box, which
varies in
size, depending
on the animal.
How
long does
it take to
receive my
order?
That depends
on several
factors, such
as whether
it’s a commissioned
piece, and
whether the
artist has
your requested
piece in stock.
Shipping information
is listed
on the description
for each piece.
Is
it possible
to personalize
my purchase
with a name,
date, and/or
inscription
on the piece?
Yes. Please
contact us
at info@theartofreverence.com
for pricing.
Tell us which
item you are
interested
in and what
you would
like inscribed
on the piece.
In the case
of a commissioned
piece, you
will be able
to communicate
this directly
with our artist
during the
planning process.
If
my urn comes
weeks after
the ceremony,
am I the one
that has to
move the ashes
from the temporary
to my new
permanent
container?
If this is
something
you are not
comfortable
doing, your
pet crematorium
or veterinarian
will usually
facilitate
this for you.
What
if I am going
to transport
the ashes?
Carry-on:
Passengers
are allowed
to carry a
crematory
container
as part of
their carry-on
luggage, but
the container
must pass
through the
X-ray machine.
If the container
is made of
a material
that generates
an opaque
image and
prevents the
security screener
from clearly
being able
to see what
is inside,
then the container
cannot be
allowed through
the security
checkpoint.
Out of respect
to the deceased
and their
family and
friends, under
no circumstances
will a screener
open the container
even if the
passenger
requests this
be done. Documentation
from the funeral
home is not
sufficient
to carry a
crematory
container
through security
and onto a
plane without
screening.
To successfully
transport
ashes with
you, TSA suggests
that you purchase
a temporary
or permanent
crematory
container
made of a
lighter weight
material such
as wood or
plastic that
can be successfully
x-rayed.
Checked
Baggage:
Passengers
may transport
an urn or
crematory
container
as checked
baggage provided
that it is
successfully
screened.
TSA will screen
the urn for
explosive
materials/devices
using a variety
of techniques;
if cleared,
it will be
permitted
as checked
baggage only.
NOTE:
Some airlines
do not allow
cremated remains
as checked
baggage so
please check
with your
air carrier
before attempting
to transport
a crematory
container
in checked
baggage.
It is advised
that you consult
the TSA at:
1-866-289-9673
or by E-mail:
