Don't make your grieving family pay to bring your body home.
Trusted by:
You may not worry about what happens to you after you die, but your family will, particularly if it happens overseas - so it’s important you get yourself covered just in case. Unexpected accidents or serious illnesses can sometimes be fatal, and our teams are here to help your family and friends if you die overseas.
The priority of your loved ones will be to bring you home. We’ll be there to help take away the added stress of navigating overseas laws, different languages and formalities.
If you die overseas as the result of an accident or a sudden and unexpected illness, both our Standard and Explorer plans offer coverage for:
In addition, we have Emergency Assistance teams who can assist your family – keeping them informed, putting them in contact with consular officials, and helping them with the often difficult administration that surrounds overseas death.

What happens if I die before my trip?

If you have any questions about this or other coverage, please reach out – we’re happy to help.
It’s essential that your family or travel buddy get in contact with our emergency assistance team as soon as possible, so that our team can support them from the time you die until your remains have returned home.

Overseas deaths are the most heartbreaking cases to help with. No one is ready to deal with the sudden death of a close relative overseas, let alone having to deal with the complex organisation and unexpected high costs.
