Repatriation Insurance Offers International Travelers Peace of Mind

May 10, 2011 by John

It is an unpleasant scenario to think about but one you must consider nonetheless: what would you do if you died while traveling abroad or living overseas? Hopefully this does not happen to you, and it may make you uncomfortable to even consider it, but having a plan in place will help you and your loved ones have some measure of peace of mind. And that plan should begin with international repatriation insurance.

If you die while traveling, you will most likely want to have your remains shipped back to your home country. Whether you ultimately want to be buried or cremated, you will probably want it to occur back home, which means someone will need to ship your body to an appropriate facility in your country or birth.

There are many companies that can help with this, but it is an understandably expensive process. In fact, it could cost anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000. The governments of the country you were traveling in and the country you wished to be shipped back to will not assist in covering those costs, which leaves your family as responsible for paying them.

Can your family afford those costs? And even if they can, do you want to leave them with that burden? Of course not, which is why international repatriation insurance was created. Simply purchase this inexpensive policy, and if you pass away while traveling, the cost of repatriation will be covered by your insurance policy, offering you and your family peace of mind that if the unthinkable happens, your remains can at least be treated properly.
