Funeral directors throughout the country are expressing concerns about the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) policies concerning the shipment of human remains by air cargo. A recent congressional mandate requires the TSA to enforce an existing policy, effective July 1, concerning all human remains shipments originating in the U.S. or its territories, which must now be tendered by a "known shipper.” This policy requires funeral homes to register as a "known shipper” for each airline they use to ship bodies, and might require both a facility inspection and payment of a fee.
Given the significance of this new policy and how profoundly it’s affecting funeral homes, WFDA has invited an official from the TSA to address the WFDA convention and discuss how the "known shipper” database works. |
