Travelling abroad should be a source of joy, not worry — yet the unexpected can happen anywhere in the world. Repatriation protection from North Star Funeral Services gives Montreal families peace of mind by pre-arranging and pre-funding the return of a loved one to Quebec in the event of a death outside Canada. It is a simple, affordable way to ensure that a difficult moment abroad never becomes a financial or logistical crisis.
Our repatriation protection plan covers the essential services needed to bring your loved one home:
The plan is activated by a single phone call to our team, who then manage every step on your family’s behalf in coordination with our international partners.
Families across Quebec choose North Star repatriation protection for its clarity, its affordability, and its value. A single modest payment today protects you from the thousands of dollars, the weeks of uncertainty, and the complex multilingual paperwork that an unplanned international repatriation can involve. The plan travels with the protected person anywhere in the world and remains in force year after year.
Many families wonder whether travel insurance already covers repatriation. Sometimes it does, but often only partially, with strict time limits, exclusions for pre-existing conditions, or caps that fall short of actual costs. Repatriation protection from North Star complements travel insurance by guaranteeing that, whatever happens, your loved one will be brought home with dignity and without additional financial stress on your family at their most vulnerable moment.
The plan may be purchased for yourself, a spouse, a parent, or any family member you wish to protect during their travels abroad. We designed this plan because too many Quebec families have called us in crisis from a hotel room overseas. We want yours to never face that situation unprepared. Our advisors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to explain the plan, answer your questions, and help you protect the people you love before you next travel.

If death occurs away from home, the return of your loved one is organized and funded without burdening your family — logistics, consular paperwork, and transport included.
The province’s official guidance on death and funerals at Québec.ca covers the declarations required when a death occurs outside Quebec; our team manages the rest.
Yes — coverage can be part of your funeral pre-arrangements or arranged on its own. Our bilingual advisors explain the conditions, the costs, and exactly what your family should do first, 24 hours a day.
Coverage applies when death occurs away from home, wherever that may be — your advisor reviews the exact conditions with you in plain language before anything is signed.
Call us before signing anything locally. We engage the consulate and our local partners immediately and take over the coordination so your family is not negotiating from a distance.
