How do I obtain a transit permit for bringing cremains to Jamaica

As am I, so sorry for your loss. If there is a bright thing about this, you will be able to watch every Negril sunset knowing that your loved one is out there some where. My best friend of 45 years passed away in February and he too wanted to be spread out at sea close to Negril. He had only been there 3 times but somehow Negril touched his heart in a big way.

So where did you get stopped with the remains?? At customs, and then once someone swam backwards from the outside door back to customs with the permit, only then can you continue out? Is that right? My friend Bob would want me to meet the driver outside with the permit, have a quick Red Stripe at the Groovy Grouper and only then get the permit back to customs, LOL.

The family member carrying the remains claimed it on the customs form to prevent it from being confiscated. "Cremated remains of a loved one.....$0.00". We had an emailed copy of the travel permit but the customs folks wanted the original paperwork that was issued from the health department in St James. If you don't have the paperwork with you at the airport they keep the remains in their custody until you return with the paperwork.

The airport security people in mo bay were very nice. Try going upstream of airport security in Atlanta, you'll get tazed.

You are absolutely correct about the bright side. Now we get to enjoy the Negril sunsets and even swim with our deceased loved one. He's out there somewhere between the beach and Rick's.
