What Does Travel Insurance Cover? Medical benefit

Repatriation of Remains

Repatriation of Remains

In the unfortunate event of death while traveling abroad, repatriation of remains coverage pays for the preparation and transportation of remains back to the policyholder’s home country. This is a benefit no one wants to think about, but it provides essential financial protection for your family during an incredibly difficult time.

What costs are covered?

  • Preparation of remains according to local and destination country regulations
  • Required documentation and permits
  • Transportation of remains to the home country
  • Casket or container suitable for international transport

Why does this matter?

International repatriation of remains can cost $10,000-$30,000+ depending on the location and requirements. Without insurance, this burden falls entirely on the family at a time when they are already dealing with immense grief. This coverage ensures the financial aspect is handled.
