Flying with Ashes - Unsure of Volume

ETA thanks for the advice everyone. I ended up splitting the ashes up just because I was able to (they already were I just left one bag behind). Security was awesome, I let the first person know that I had some and she gave me a different bin for them to get scanned, they were swabbed and I was on my way. There Was some confusion only because there’s apparently a new procedure coming into place on Sunday. It was too busy for me to ask what that was! I had paperwork, they didn’t look at it, and they were in a cardboard box.

I have looked at other threads here and then read through the requirements above on the website.

Flying Calgary to Toronto with remains, and the funeral home cannot validate volume. I have 2 separate bags because we are doing a couple small ceremonies in spots that meant a lot to her. Ashes are in a cardboard box. I have paperwork.

Has anyone flown recently with the full volume of ashes and run into push back? I'm not checking the ashes, that's not happening but I could bring them on different trips if I really need to. What are my risks here.
