Can you send a dead body overseas?

Yep!

At my job with international students, we supply all of our students with "Repatriation Insurance" which basically means if they die while they're here, they won't have to pay to have their bodies sent home.
You can also pay for it out of pocket, but it kind of makes sense for you to get the insurance if you know for sure you'll use it.

Yep. need a sealed cofin and some paperwork from Customs in both countries.

someone has to accompany the body, and there is paperwork involved. Most funeral homes can help you with this. If that is really what they wish it may be nice of them to pre-arrange as much of it as possible so you and any other family are not left all confused and flustered while trying to grieve.

Yes you can. Plans should be made with a local funeral home to prepare the body and arrange its transport. A representative from a funeral home in the Philippines would have to arrange to receive it.

I hope you don't have to worry about this for a long time.

Yes indeed. But they would have to be embalmed or cremated.

yes you can you send them in a coffin because my friend died in a car crash in New Zealand and they shipped over his body

Unfortunately, they are shipping our young boys home in a bag every day from countries who could care less about us or our brave young men!

yea u can it cost alot but u can do it.

You can, however it depends on how a person has died. I think cremation is the easiest way to go. I think it would also depend on where you are sending it from.

Hayz

yes you can, it would be easier if they were cremated but if they put it in their will and testimate then they can be transported back over there.
