Our Vehicles
When transporting by road, bespoke vehicles for the transport of cremated remains are utilised. We do not use motorcycles or trucks. Cremated remains are transported in dignified and appropriate vehicles. Other types of shipments are never carried in the same vehicle at the same time as cremated remains.
When other modes of transport are utilised such as rail, sea or air ² - urns, containers or scatter tubes are carried in special cases that are used solely for the carriage of repatriated cremated remains. We employ hard sided lockable units such as Pelican cases or similar. Remains are never carried in hold baggage out of our couriers care or with the courier's own belongings.
Regulations & Paperwork
Regulations and paperwork are simple and straightforward with SpeedLink's Cremated Remains Repatriation Services. The only paperwork required for cross-border transport is a Death Certificate and a Cremation Certificate or the local equivalents. For service within the United Kingdom only, paperwork is not required. ³
Permission is not generally required to repatriate cremated remains anywhere. However, some countries require documentation or certificates of 'non-objection' when repatriating cremated remains which SpeedLink can arrange and apply for on your behalf.

¹ While shipments are waiting at our international hub in the UK for the next scheduled movement, cremated remains are held in a secure area at our facility under lock and key, similar to the holding lockers found at funeral homes and crematoriums. Our facilities are manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week by on site security personnel and monitored by CCTV.
² For transport by air or rail and some sea crossings - urns, containers or scatter tubes must be made of a material that allows for x-rays to penetrate to receptacle such as cardboard, plastic or wood to facilitate the security screening process. Death & Cremation documentation must accompany shipments using these modes of transport even within the United Kingdom.
³ We recommend that death and cremation certificates (or local equivalents) travel with the shipment in case they are required later at the delivery point.
† Additional services such as a timed delivery, splitting of ashes for transport to different locations or even the addition of an Ashes Scattering Ceremony can be added. Please ask our team for more information.
