Kind of a serious type question.

The funeral home/crematorium should be able to provide you with a certificate (no charge) to take your brother's cremains internationally and you won't have any problems with TSA. This way you shouldn't have any issues bringing his cremains to Jamaica. My priest advised me to get this certificate, so I can take my Mom's ashes to Scotland. A note in the certificate says that you aren't supposed to spread the ashes in bodies of water......, but I don't think many follow that!
On one of my visits JA, an elderly lady carried the urn on the plane in Charlotte. I didn't follow her thru security, but I saw her at the gate and nobody was going to pry that urn from her hands.....

beebeluv, that certificate is really important, i almost was not able to take my mom's ashes home to the UK because we didn't get the certificate 1st (we didn't know what we were going to do with them at first). luckily the funeral home made an exception but they could have easily said sorry, rules are rules.

although if you are only taking a small portion it will probably be easy enough to tuck it into your case, but if they find it i'm not sure what the consequences will be.
