Temporary containers are typically available from funeral homes and offer a security friendly means to travel by air with a crematory container. Once the passenger completes their travel, they can visit their local TSA's funeral home partner who will transfer the remains from the temporary container to the permanent container free of charge. The complimentary "Remains Transfer Service" has been embraced by the funeral industry and already many funeral homes have requested to become partners in this important customer service effort.
