Become a TSA Funeral Home Partner and become part of this important initiative.
Funeral Home Partners:
The Transportation Security Administration has implemented a new procedure affecting those passengers attempting to transport a crematory container on airplanes as carry-on baggage.
Passengers are still allowed to carry-on a crematory container, but the container MUST first pass through the x-ray machine. If the container is made of a material that generates an opaque image and prevents the security screener from clearly being able to see what is inside, then the container will NOT be allowed through the security checkpoint.
In respect to the deceased, under NO circumstances will a screener open the container even if the passenger requests that this be done. Documentation from the funeral home is no longer sufficient to carry a crematory container through security and onto a plane.
As a result of this policy the TSA would like to partner with funeral homes throughout the country to accommodate passengers transporting remains via air travel. To ensure that a TSA screener can successfully x-ray the crematory container’s contents, the TSA recommends that remains be transported in containers constructed of light-weight materials such as cardboard, plastic, or wood.
We realize that containers made of these materials may not be desirable as the container used to permanently house the remains of a passenger’s loved ones; however, it can be used as a temporary container to transport the remains to their final destination.
Using such a solution, passengers are ultimately faced with the dilemma of how to transfer the remains from the temporary container to the permanent container.
The TSA Solution:
Form a voluntary partnership with willing funeral homes. TSA Funeral Home Partners agree to offer a complimentary "Remains Transfer Service" at no charge to the traveler. This allows the passenger to obtain a temporary "security friendly" container for transporting the remains via air travel and in addition purchase a permanent container that can be made of any material they desire.
Once the passenger reaches their final destination they can contact their local "TSA Funeral Home Partner" and have the remains transferred free of charge.
Please share this program and the new TSA crematory container policy with your patrons to help extend TSA's public outreach and education efforts.
Benefits to Our Funeral Home Partners:

Funeral Home and Cremation websites that list area or nationwide Funeral Homes can advertise that your establishment offers this service and that you are a TSA partner.
This partnership allows you to get possible buyers in the door where you can sell the traveler a permanent crematory container at the point of their final destination.
You will be performing a service for the public that will be appreciated, remembered, and possibly reflected in future funeral service or crematory container purchases.

The Metropolitan Airport Workers Association (MAWA) has been created for any-and-all airport and Headquarters personnel, without prejudice to federal or commercial employment affiliation, to aid in maintaining an amicable, safe and professional working environment. A member�s sustained benefits shall include, but are not limited to, a network support system, local meetings, educational seminars, social community events and fundamental materials which are essential for keeping members informed about their vocational responsibilities and rights.
MAWA will be actively involved with perfecting its members� co-worker and management relationships, providing them with the skills and tools necessary to accomplish this. With establishing an upright working relationship, opportunities of benevolent service, safety and security will be able to further themselves into the member�s community. These benefits have been established from MAWA�s desire to continually expose members to contemporary fields, which they might not otherwise be familiar with, and to facilitate, first and foremost, the protection and preservation of its members� rights.
MAWA is recognized as an organization, that above all else, strives to uphold a safe and professional environment through providing education and guidance for all of its members and staff. Remember, MAWA is not an us-against-them or them-against-us adversarial association. It is an all-of-us, working together organization, and we are committed to working together to reach solutions that benefit the entire organization and department.
