People have different reasons for travelling or living abroad. Irrespective of those reasons they require international insurance policies. What they are not aware of is that not all international insurance include international repatriation insurance.
This type of insurance covers three major aspects that are considered delicate or highly sensitive topics: health, evacuation, and repatriation of remains.
Most international insurance includes health insurance, but evacuation insurance is not included in all policies. International evacuation insurance policies protect the policyholder not only against risk hazards, but also ensure his or her medical evacuation from the country where the event occurred. The policy covers transportation costs to the country of origin, along with medical assistance if treatment is not available locally.
This kind of insurance also covers another aspect of life that is not so pleasant, which is the repatriation of remains. Unfortunately, death strikes when least expected and it does not care that you are on vacation. Unfortunate events happen everywhere and that is why you should spare your family of the trouble and consider international repatriation insurance for remains.
