Insurance to bring deadbody back to Netherlands
31 januari 2017
Vraag nummer: 49383
Sir
My wife and I are Dutch citizens by naturalization. currently we live in Saudi Arabia due to work. Our wishes are that in case of our death, our bodies are returned to the Netherlands.
We also intend to donate our bodies for public benefit, maybe to be used by the medical academia.
What are our options for insurance and services. Where should we look for this service?
regards.
Mustafa and Naima

Dear sir,
We are not an insurance company. Such companies can be found on the site http://www.uitvaartverzekering.net.
I myself have the impression that when you die abroad, your body is no longer of interest to medical science. Bodies should be fairly quickly cooled to be transferred to an institution. The transfer from abroad may take too long and a body will not be cooled continuously. Maybe there are anatomic institutions in Saudi Arabia that would welcome you...
Information about donating bodies for public benefit, can be found on www.lichaamsdonatie.info.
Kind regards,
mr W.G.H.M. van der Putten

Laat nabestaanden niet onnodig zoeken naar oude polissen. Registreer of u een uitvaartverzekering hebt op uitvaartverzekeringsregister.nl
Ook verstandig om in te vullen als u GEEN verzekering hebt.
