Today it is not unusual for people, especially retirees, to spend significant time away from their homes each year vacationing, visiting relatives or attending special events. If a death should occur while out of the country or just out of town on a brief trip, bringing a deceased loved one back home can be a complicated and expensive process. Now there's no need to worry. The Travel Plan from Fortis Family takes care of all the details and expenses.

The Travel Plan covers all the details:

• Location and transportation to a funeral home where the death occurs.
• Transportation of the deceased back to their home.
• Handling all necessary documents, including consular services if outside the United States.
