Statement and Consent for Burial
We at YWAM San Jose Costa Rica, encourage each YWAM Staff, prospective student and volunteer to seriously consider some possible consequences of missions work and training. Although death is extremely rare in service with Youth With A Mission internationally, it is nevertheless an experience that awaits each one of us eventually. It is important that we all prepare for such possibilities and have a clear plan of action if such instances arise during our time of study or service with Youth With A Mission.
YWAM International strongly encourages burial on the field, as decay can start very quickly and 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.
We endeavor to maintain a Christian view of death, it is not the final step but just a passage; the person is not in the coffin, just his/her earthly shell.
In case of death, YWAM San Jose cannot commit to cover the costs of shipping the body to another country for purposes of burial, or 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.
I agree that in the case of my death while in Youth With A Mission San Jose, Youth With A Mission San Jose 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 Youth With A Mission San Jose and all its staff and associates of the burial costs.
I consent to carry out burial and agree to absolve Youth With A Mission of burial costs.
