| May 28, 2020 at 15:02 | comment | added | Itai | Anyone of you guys have ever thought of signing for organ donation? There are other things you can do with meat and in some cultures, indeed, the corpse is eaten during the funeral ceremony. Donation instructions are registered somewhere but it might not be known to the foreign country you die in. | |

| May 28, 2020 at 14:10 | comment | added | I'm with Monica | @Itai, well, a will is used to distribute one's wealth, a very useful act to further the (monetary) wellbeing of people one cared about when still alive. - But I, for instance, don't care at all what will happen to my corpse, as it will be of little value to anyone. It's just a piece of meat, that you aren't even allowed to eat or make other use of. - Your reasoning is thus flawed: The reasons to care about one's corpse are not the same as the ones to write a will. | |
| May 28, 2020 at 13:51 | comment | added | Ross Presser | Would it make sense to include and carry instructions about what you desire to happen if you die? "If I die when traveling, please have me cremated and contact my widow for reimbursement and for repatriation of my ashes." | |
| May 28, 2020 at 13:38 | comment | added | Itai | For all the reasons people write a will :) | |

| May 28, 2020 at 10:13 | comment | added | gidds | Would the title be better phrased as ‘… if …’ rather than ‘…when…’? After all, many of us won't die while travelling abroad. | |

| May 27, 2020 at 15:45 | comment | added | Itai | @Relaxed - Thanks, simplified and you are right, hope was a poor choice of wording. Just want to know what common agreements exist, if any, before we go on to very specific versions between all country-pairs. The answer can be that it depends on the pair of countries and I'm fine with that too, just because there is no one answer doesn't mean the question is broad because the asker is unlikely to know. | |

Simplify and focus.

| May 27, 2020 at 14:23 | comment | added | Relaxed | The question is very broad and multifacetted, not sure it's a good fit for this site. Why would you think or hope there are common procedures or that bodies would systematically be repatriated (and to which “home” country)? | |
