I heard it is allowed to take her ashes to China. Generally, you may need to prepare documens as follow:1. Her identification paper: passport or ID card2. Proof of her Death that is issued by a state owned hospital or the local executive authority. The papers should show her name, gender, age, nationality, cause of death, date of death and other information3. Death report that is issued by the local public security department4. Proof to show that the ashes have been disinfected and disinsected5. Cremation proof that is issued by foreign exequy departmentBesides them all, you need other documents. For details, it is suggested to consult China Embassy in your place.
