When a British national dies abroad, their family is usually responsible for arranging and funding the repatriation of the body. Travel insurance often covers these costs, which can be substantial, but if there's no insurance, the family must cover the expenses themselves. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office offers consular support.
