Brock and Mary Davidson* were smart snowbirds. Just before they flew south one year, they went to their local funeral home and bought a plan that included travel coverage….just in case something happened while on vacation. While wintering in Arizona one year, something did happen.

“When my husband passed away while vacationing, only one phone call was required to have the staff spring into action. They contacted a local funeral home to provide preliminary services. All paperwork including customs filing was handled efficiently with little intrusion to the family,” says Mary.

The Travel Assistance Plan, offered at Heritage Funeral Centre in Toronto, is ideal for anyone travelling more than 100 kilometers away from home. One phone call to Heritage covers all the costs and logistics involved in bringing you home with no charges to your family. The plan even paid for Mary’s son’s flight to Arizona. Your family is spared undue headache and worry so they can cope better and honor your memory in peace.

There are no pre-requisites – neither age nor medical – to qualify and it is offered separately or as part of a funeral pre-arrangement. For only a few hundred dollars, this one-time cost covers you for life. All required paperwork is completed, including consular services if death occurs outside Canada.

When asked about her experience Mary says, “The service, efficiency and compassion were excellent. We will be eternally grateful to those who eased our fears during this event. I strongly urge fellow travelers to purchase this insurance to provide peace of mind on their future journeys.”

The above incident occurred in Arizona. It could just as easily happen on a cruise ship or elsewhere in North American. Imagine if a death occurs while travelling in a remote part of the world where you are not able to speak the language, or while en route in a plane over the ocean necessitating an emergency landing. Repatriating a deceased loved one can be very expensive, possibly requiring payment of over twenty thousand dollars that may not be readily available. The Travel Assurance Plan takes care of all of this for you.
