    This is not correct,they repatriate if you are ill,but on all the policy info's I have looked at they do not cover the bringing back of your body unless stated,most do not cover this,which is why I am looking for a policy that does.

    Its fairly standard cover. Aviva, Direct Line and Post office all cover the cost of returning your body/ashes/remains home. They were the first three I looked at.

    Which ones have you looked at?

    To be honest, I'd always thought this was a standard part of the cover. I wonder if Saga might state it specifically?
