Repatriation under the insurance policy

There is a lot of information about the insurance that you can make an insurance in case of death risk, information that should be known when a person decides to leave his country. Certainly many companies offer this service, but we have to be honest and agree that no one thinks about this too much. But the risk of a death abroad exists, and repatriation costs may be high, depending on the country, the city, and the type of death that intervenes.

When death takes place on the highway in a small or far away town, the cost of repatriation may involve the payment of services in the country where the death occurred. Repatriation of the deceased person entails high costs of: taxes for taking the deceased from the scene of the accident, charge for transporting the deceased person to the cold room, charges for keeping it in the cold room (costs that can reach very high amounts).

There are companies that pay the entire cost directly to the funeral company that offered the service, but there are others that may tell you that because they have to conduct an investigation you will have to wait, and this way you will be put in the situation that their compensation is not granted not even after one or two months from the moment of death.
