Travelling brings with it a sense of adventure and excitement, but also the unpredictability of unforeseen events, particularly when away from home. Should an emergency arise, such as the unfortunate event of a death occurring abroad, the logistical and emotional challenges can be overwhelming for anyone.
That’s where our Worldwide Travel Protection plan plays an essential role. Designed to relieve the logistical burdens and reduce the stress of repatriating a loved one, this service proves indispensable in critical moments.
We understand the importance of having a safety net, regardless of where you or your loved ones may find themselves around the globe. Our Travel Protection includes comprehensive services—from handling necessary documents and navigating consular services if death happens outside Canada, to organising transportation for the deceased and a travelling companion back to Canada.
This isn’t just about easing financial burdens—it’s about providing peace and reassurance during stressful times. This introduction will reflect on how our Travel Protection plan lifts heavy burdens off your shoulders, enabling you and your family to focus more on healing and less on logistical concerns.
Understanding Worldwide Travel Protection: What It Covers
When you or a loved one are travelling, unexpected incidents such as an illness or accident can interrupt your travels dramatically. Our Worldwide Travel Protection is tailored to ensure that, no matter where in the world an incident occurs, you have comprehensive support to manage the situation effectively. This service is crucial, especially if death occurs while you or a loved one is abroad.
Our plan covers all necessary arrangements, including liaison with consular services if the event happens outside Canada. We take care of locating and arranging transportation of the deceased to a local funeral establishment, which will prepare them for their final journey home.
If the person was travelling alone, our service also covers the transportation and reasonable travel expenses for a next of kin to come and accompany the deceased back to Canada. The comprehensive nature of our plan ensures that every detail is managed carefully, allowing families to focus on what truly matters during such times.
The Process of Bringing a Loved One Home
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is challenging enough without the added burden of international bureaucracy and logistics. Here’s how we streamline the complex process when death occurs abroad. Initially, our experienced team works swiftly to handle all necessary documentation. This includes any consular services required by the nation where the death occurred.
Following this, we coordinate the location and prepare the deceased for transportation at a local funeral establishment close to where the death took place. The next crucial step involves arranging the transportation logistics to bring the deceased and, if applicable, a travel companion back to Canada. This process involves coordination between various local and international agents to ensure smooth and dignified repatriation.
We work round the clock to ensure that these arrangements are carried out with the utmost respect and efficiency, mitigating the logistical burdens on the grieving family and ensuring that their loved one is brought home with care and dignity.
Each of these steps is handled with great care and attention to detail, ensuring that you and your family are supported during such emotionally taxing times and the practical aspects are managed seamlessly.

The benefits of enrolling in this plan extend beyond just logistical arrangements. It offers emotional and financial relief during what is undoubtedly a difficult time. By covering all aspects of repatriation, our plan allows families to focus on healing rather than the burdensome details of international protocols and unexpected expenses.
The Process of Bringing a Loved One Home
In the unfortunate event that a death occurs abroad, the complexity of international laws and transportation logistics can be daunting. Our process simplifies this. Once we are notified, our local agents promptly liaise with consular officials and local authorities to ensure all paperwork and legalities are correctly handled. We then coordinate with trusted local funeral establishments to prepare and transport the deceased with dignity.
Our international coordination extends beyond mere logistics; it involves compassionate service from experienced professionals who understand the delicacies of these hard times. Our agents are skilled in navigating these delicate situations swiftly and respectfully, ensuring all procedures adhere to the family’s wishes and legal requirements.
Financial and Emotional Advantages of Our Travel Protection Plan
The cost of repatriating a loved one without our Travel Protection Plan can be exorbitantly high, often adding up to thousands of dollars depending on the location and required arrangements. Our one-time, low-cost plan covers these expenses fully, preventing unexpected financial strain during an already stressful period. More importantly, having this plan in place allows families to avoid the hassle of navigating foreign legal systems and transportation logistics on their own.
The emotional relief provided by our plan cannot be understated. Knowing that the logistical aspects of bringing a loved one home are taken care of allows families to focus on supporting each other rather than on bureaucratic processes. This peace of mind is invaluable, reducing stress and providing comfort during times of grief.
Practical Scenarios Addressed by Worldwide Travel Protection
Our plan is comprehensive and designed to handle various situations that travellers might face. For instance, if an insured traveller is alone during their time of passing, we coordinate to have a next of kin travel to the location. This inclusion ensures that no insured traveller has to face the process alone, and family members are supported throughout.
Additionally, in scenarios where the deceased is accompanied by a travelling partner, our plan covers the cost of the companion’s return home. This ensures that travelling companions are not left stranded in a foreign country during such traumatic times.
