A relative has died overseas. What should I do?
When you are faced with the death of a loved one overseas you should contact their insurance company first. They may be able to take care of all the arrangements for you. You can also contact the British Embassy in the country. They may also be able to assist in appointing a local funeral director.
If you cannot get any help through the insurance company or the Embassy, we will be able to assist you directly.
