Don't make your family pay to bring your remains home.
If you die overseas, travel insurance cover 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 Medical 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 remains back home.
Cover is not available for costs that are not authorised by your insurer. They will review the circumstances of every claim and provide assistance and support wherever possible.

No one is ready to deal with the sudden death of an immediate relative abroad, let alone having to deal with complex requirements and unexpected high costs. The 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team can coordinate a local burial or bring home loved ones with trusted partners on the ground and ensure that families and friends are supported through such a difficult time.
The policy isn’t designed to cover everything so take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the policy wording for full details, so there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered get in touch.

To help our Emergency Medical Assistance team assist them quickly, they'll need the following:
So, leave a copy of your policy with your family or friend, just in case they need to use it.
