What is Travel Protection?

WHAT IS TRAVEL PROTECTION?

When planning a vacation, attending a wedding, or traveling for business, we rarely think of the possibility that we might pass away hundreds or thousands of miles away from home.  Wise travelers often purchase travel and repatriation plans for this very reason.

Preplanning your cremation with Beachwood Society affords you the unique opportunity to protect yourself and family from added expenses if you should pass away more than 75 miles from your legal residence. For a one-time fee of $595.00, you gain more than just a membership with our Travel Protection Plan; you ensure that your pre-need with Beachwood will be honored wherever you are.  The plan is good for life, and there are no health or age restrictions to join.

If someone dies while traveling, their family is often overwhelmed with considering logistics, figuring out who to call, what to do, and where to turn.  We offer Travel Protection through APASI – an industry leader relieves your family of these and other pressing concerns. APASI is also the only company that backs their memberships with insurance.

 Membership with the APASI Plan offers:

• Transportation from the place of death to a licensed, local deathcare facility
• Cremation provided by the local provider
• Procuring approvals, affidavits, permits and, in the case of international travel, consular services
• Up to five (5) certified death certificates
• Wallet cards with participant’s membership number and APASI Plan contact information
• Extensive network of licensed providers
• Membership assistance at any time of day or night
• Assistance in over 100 languages to eliminate the stress of language barriers
• Stringent protocols for the time of need to eliminate stress and uncertainty
• World-wide coverage “from Alaska to Zimbabwe and all points in between.”
• No expense caps – Your family will not have to pay out-of-pocket for anything related to what is covered under the APASI Plan.
