  • Statement of Burial

    Marine Reach does everything possible to protect volunteer staff and students on the field. Although death is extremely rare, it nevertheless needs to be considered. Marine Reach strongly encourages burial on the field, as decay can start very quickly and as transport of the body from the overseas location can be very costly.
  • In order to be shipped, some laws require a special coffin and the coffin must be accompanied by someone on the return journey. In case of death, Marine Reach cannot commit to cover the costs of shipping the body to another country for purposes of burial or to ultimately cover the burial costs in the country of death. If the family desires to see the body transported back home, the family must incur the cost.

  • Consent for Burial

    I agree that in the case of my death while in Marine Reach, Marine Reach may carry out the burial in the location of the deceased.If my family desires to have my body shipped home, my family is prepared to pay all costs. I hereby absolve Marine Reach and all its volunteer staff and associates of the burial and transport costs.
