How can you be prepared for the unexpected if you travel? We don’t like to think of our mortality, but it is fair to say that traveling can increase the risk of something ‘unthinkable’ happening while we are away from home. Have you considered just what would happen and how much it would cost if you did die when away from your home?
This guide can help you consider how to be best prepared and protected if you spend some time away from home.
Do You Prepare Before You Travel?
We are a nation that likes to travel. And RVers and Snowbirds are annual devoted pilgrims. Many do preparation before they hit the road. Preparing vehicles, routes, medical supplies, and vehicle insurance. Taking the time to leave their primary home prepared for the winter months.
But how many consider taking out a plan to protect them should a death occur away from their primary home? Protection to return their remains to the family if the unthinkable should happen.
Transporting a body back home up north for a funeral or burial can add a huge unprepared for expense. Would your family be ready to fork out upwards of $3,000 to get you home?

Taking Out Protection to Cover Death Care Expenses While Traveling?
Vehicle and accident insurance policies may protect travelers against road accidents. Indeed, dedicated companies such as snowbirdsaccidents.com cater to the rise in accidents in January and February.
RVing is a growing sector, with 11.2 million Americans owning Recreational Vehicles last year, up a massive 62 percent since 2001. The figures on Snowbirds migrating from the Northern States to winter in the South are a little more difficult to pin down.
Florida’s population booms by 1 million every winter of snowbirds who stay a month or two.
Arizona, California, and the Texas Coast are other popular destinations for those snowbirds fleeing the frigid Northern climate.

Do You Know Just How Much It Can Cost to Ship a Body Home?
I bet you don’t. Not if you have never had to arrange funeral shipping. And most of us would be amazed to learn that mortuary shipping costs much more than flying first class! Be Prepared….
Domestic Shipping within North America will cost your family at least $3,000. Never mind all the hassle, red tape, and stress they will have to deal with unexpectedly.

Do You Have a Funeral Plan at Your Primary Address?
If you already have a funeral plan, your family will want to get you home for funeral arrangements. Once your remains are transported home, your local funeral home can take over and conduct your funeral wishes.
Having a Travel Protection Plan will ensure your family will not incur an exorbitant additional fee to transport you home. We have you covered!
We can even help you prepare a final wishes funeral plan that does not require setting up a preneed contract with a funeral home. With the DFS Memorials Legacy Plan, you can document your wishes or intentions and sign your authorizations.
Next, we help you work out how much you need to set aside in a Payable-On-Death (P.O.D.) bank trust account to cover the cost. Your named beneficiaries can withdraw the funds on the production of a death certificate, which gives them immediate access to money to pay for the funeral or cremation.
DFS Memorials has a nationwide network of funeral and cremation providers offering affordable ‘no fuss’ services. Direct cremation is available for between $795 and $1,995 in most areas across the U.S.
