Add Tulip’s Away From Home Assurance for Total Protection

No one knows where we’ll be when the time comes — but you can protect your family from additional stress, costs, and complicated logistics.

If you pass away 75 miles or more from home, whether in the next county or another country, Tulip’s Away From Home Assurance provides peace of mind. This lifetime coverage ensures your remains are brought home with dignity and care, with no out-of-pocket expenses for your loved ones. You can add Away From Home Assurance with your prepaid cremation plan. 

What Is Away From Home Assurance?

Away From Home Assurance is a one-time, prepaid travel protection plan that covers the full cost of transporting your remains if you pass away 75+ miles from home. It includes:

• Transportation from the place of death to your home or chosen funeral provider
• Required preparation for safe and lawful transport
• Legal paperwork, including local, state, or international documentation
• Help with customs, consular coordination, and travel visas when needed
• Ongoing updates and support for your family throughout the process

Unlike standard travel insurance, this plan specifically covers the return of your body. Most travel or health insurance policies do not include this coverage.

Not Just for Frequent Travelers

You don’t need to be a globe-trotter to benefit from Away From Home Assurance. It applies if you pass away just 75 miles from your legal residence, whether you’re visiting relatives, attending a wedding, or vacationing nearby.

Even if death occurs abroad, your family can count on full support. While the U.S. State Department may offer some diplomatic assistance, they do not make arrangements to return your remains. Tulip’s plan takes care of everything.

Why Add Away From Home Protection?

If you don’t have out-of-area coverage in place, your family would need to:

• Coordinate with unfamiliar funeral homes or authorities in another state or country
• Navigate confusing requirements and transportation logistics
• Pay thousands of dollars out of pocket for transportation, customs, and documentation

By adding this protection, you lift that burden, giving your family space to grieve and focus on honoring your wishes.

Best Time to Add It? Now.

You can add Away From Home Assurance when you purchase a prepaid direct cremation plan, or afterward. However, we strongly recommend adding it at the same time for maximum convenience and protection. It only takes a moment to add, and the benefits last a lifetime.

With Away From Home Assurance, there are:

• No age limits
• No medical requirements
• No claim forms
• No hidden costs

Your coverage moves with you anywhere in the contiguous U.S. If you relocate, your plan stays in effect.

Lifetime Coverage, One Simple Investment

A single, prepaid investment gives you lifetime protection. No matter how much transportation costs rise over the years, your family pays nothing extra when the time comes.

Tulip’s Away From Home Assurance offers:

• Total coverage for return transportation and paperwork
• Support across the U.S. and internationally
• Ongoing family updates and respectful care every step of the way
