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.
