To ship cremated remains: 1-place the urn in a cardboard box, wrap entirely in plain brown paper, seal every seam completely with paper tape.

2-Mail through the US Postal Service registered and return receipt. This is the only way to guarantee safe arrival and safe handling.

It takes about 5 business days to get where it's going. It costs more than priority but it's a human being. That's worthy of respect. If something happened and the ashes were lost or spilled, the folks that that person belongs to are sure gonna sue so this is why the post office has guidelines. Cut corners and cost if you want but you're only cheating yourself.

Nothing special is required to fly with cremated remains in your carry on luggage. I have done it many times. Just make sure the urn can be X rayed or opened if it's made out of some kind of impenetrable metal. You don't need a certificate or anything.

(c) Upon the completion of the cremation process, and except as provided for in item (J) of paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 20, if the crematory authority has not been instructed to arrange for the interment, entombment, inurnment, or scattering of the cremated remains, the crematory authority shall deliver the cremated remains to the individual specified on the cremation authorization form, or if no individual is specified then to the authorizing agent. The delivery may be made in person or by registered mail. Upon receipt of the cremated remains, the individual receiving them may transport them in any manner in this State without a permit, and may dispose of them in accordance with this Section. After delivery, the crematory authority shall be discharged from any legal obligation or liability concerning the cremated remains. (d) If, after a period of 60 days from the date of the cremation, the authorizing agent or the agent's designee has not instructed the crematory authority to arrange for the final disposition of the cremated remains or claimed the cremated remains, the crematory authority may dispose of the cremated remains in any manner permitted by this Section. The crematory authority, however, shall keep a permanent record identifying the site of final disposition. The authorizing agent shall be responsible for reimbursing the crematory authority for all reasonable expenses incurred in disposing of the cremated remains. Upon disposing of the cremated remains, the crematory authority shall be discharged from any legal obligation or liability concerning the cremated remains.

(e) Except with the express written permission of the authorizing agent, no person shall: (1) Dispose of cremated remains in a manner or in a location so that the cremated remains are commingled with those of another person. This prohibition shall not apply to the scattering of cremated remains at sea, by air, or in an area located in a dedicated cemetery and used exclusively for those purposes. (2) Place cremated remains of more than one person in the same temporary container or urn. (Source: P.A. 87‑1187.)
