Don't make your family pay to bring your body home.
Travel Insurance cover if you die overseas can help bring your remains home without bankrupting your relatives or further traumatising them in what is already a very difficult time.
If you die due to a sudden illness or injury while overseas we will pay for the reasonable cost (up to the benefit limit) for the following:
We also provide repatriation of remains for travellers who die from Coronavirus while travelling on all our plans, although benefit limits apply.
Most importantly, our 24 hour Emergency Assistance Team will be able to keep your family informed and help them navigate the often difficult local regulations and administration required after your death.
This may include putting them in touch with consular officials, navigating and understanding local processes and helping access the services you need locally to transport your body back home.
There are exclusions and conditions that apply to travel insurance cover, including, but not limited to:

So, leave a copy of your policy with your family or friend, just in case they need to use it.
