Deceased body transport can be extremely costly and complicated.
With our Away From Home Protection Plan, we handle everything and transport your body home from anywhere in the world for a small one-time fee.
Most of us don’t think about what happens if we pass away far from home. Transporting a deceased person is a difficult job. It’s a hard topic to think about, but the reality is, life doesn’t always end near the people we love most. Whether you’re traveling across the country to see family, taking that long-awaited vacation, or even living in another state part-time, the unexpected can happen.
When it does, your family is left with the complicated, expensive job of bringing you home. This isn’t like planning a funeral in your hometown. It’s a tangled process involving people and agencies your family has never met.
That’s why Travel Protection, also known as Away From Home Assurance, is one of the most important pieces of a complete funeral plan.
What is an Away From Home Protection Plan or Travel Protection?
Travel Protection, also known as Away From Home Protection Plan, is a one-time membership plan for deceased body transport that takes care of everything if you die 75 miles or more from home. It doesn’t matter if you’re across the state or halfway around the world. One call is all it takes, and your family won’t be stuck with unexpected bills or confusing paperwork.
This deceased person transport plan ensures that your remains are safely and respectfully returned to your local funeral home. It’s simple, straightforward, and a true act of love for your family.
Deceased Transportation Services: Why Bringing Someone Home is So Hard Without This Plan
When someone dies away from home, families face a mountain of obstacles. It’s not just the cost of transportation. It’s also the legal maze of getting everything done right.
Here’s what your family would have to deal with:
- Local Authorities – Police or medical examiners to verify the death and release the body.
- Hospitals or Coroners – Getting official paperwork and approvals.
- Funeral Directors in Two Locations – One near where the death occurred and one at home.
- State or National Health Departments – Required paperwork and health checks for transporting remains.
- Airlines and Transportation Services – Coordinating flights, paperwork, and special handling.
- Customs or Embassies (if overseas) – Clearance, translation, and documentation for international transport.
- Insurance Companies and Banks – Coordinating payment and financial aspects.
Each of these steps requires time, phone calls, and sometimes thousands of dollars. Families often feel lost and overwhelmed in the middle of their grief.
Travel Protection Solves This Problem
When you have this plan in place, your family doesn’t have to navigate that complex system. One call to the Travel Protection team and they handle:
- All transportation costs to bring you back to your chosen funeral home.
- All the paperwork and permits required by local and state authorities.
- Coordination with funeral homes in both locations.
- Communication with airlines, customs, and health departments.
- Support for your family throughout the process.
They’re not left alone or forced to scramble for help. Everything is taken care of.
The True Costs Without Travel Protection
The costs of bringing someone home from another city, state, or country can be shocking. It’s not uncommon for families to pay anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on where you pass away and how far you are from home.
- Domestic Transportation – Airfare, funeral home handling, and body preparation.
- International Transportation – Translation services, customs clearance, embassy coordination, and expensive cargo fees.
- Legal Requirements – Death certificates, permits, and other fees.
Travel Protection covers these costs and removes the financial shock that could burden your family.

Why This is the Missing Piece in Your Funeral Plan
You may have already started planning your funeral. Maybe you’ve shared your wishes with your family or started a pre-need plan with a funeral home. But if you’re far from home when you pass away, that plan may not help until you’re brought back.
Travel Protection is the missing piece. It connects your funeral plan to the real world, wherever you are.
Shipping a deceased body to another state or transporting a deceased across state lines can be complicated. And the cost to ship a deceased body can be expensive. Especially if you have to transport a deceased to another country.
Most families don’t plan for this contingency. They may have life insurance or a pre-paid funeral plan, but still get stuck with paying sometimes tens of thousands of dollars in fees if their loved one passes in another state or country.
