    Transportation
    The major airline companies usually employ a specialized team to deal with this very sensitive cargo. For example, Air Canada operates a special cargo service called ‘Compassion’ that handles the transportation of either non-cremated, or cremated, remains. As with other airlines, their regulations vary dependent upon domestic or international shipments. Remains normally need to be transported in a casket that is contained within an airtray. The airline will ordinarily provide an airtray, although they may charge for this.

    It is difficult to provide a definitive pricing guide for the transportation of remains, as it varies so much by airline, schedule, distance, weight and other pertaining factors. However, as a rough guide you will find the rates for shipping non-cremated human remains within Canada can start from as little as $60 but reach up to $100’s. Most airlines offer a basic fee classified by domestic zones and stratified by weight. The freight charge may also be subject to additional surcharges.

    Isn't this the Wednesday Lake County crash on I-90? There was no report of the driver of that truck in the photo being killed at that time.

    Perhaps the State of Ohio is harvesting the organs of out-of-state truck drivers non-fatally injured in crashes in Ohio so driver's remains must be sent home by air casket after valuable organs have been removed. I don't know. However, I am not surprised that truck drivers are being used for organ harvesting. It was bound to happen.

    Its been going on for a long time!
    (Organ harvesting)

    In regards to the accident I did read where people were injured criticaly.

    Did anyone lose their life ? I don't know but the way the O/P thread reads I thought he was asking how one would be repatriated.

    I hope nobody succumbed to their injuries. If you have more info maybe you could post it.:-/

    As far as the truck and cargo go, it is all considered by the government to be disposed of and sold in the USA and taxes are due on the market value .

    I think you may have the crash in the original poster's photo of the crash on I-90 in Ohio confused with the fatal pile-up on I-78 in Pennsylvania.

    I didn't say there was a fatality, I did read about the one in Ohio on the I 90 where they reported some people were injured critically.
