All costs related to repatriation of remains and personal belongings must be borne by the client or applicable insurance company. The Department of Justice Canada provides financial assistance to Canadians who are victims of violent crimes abroad, in situations of undue hardship where no other source of financial assistance is available. The specified crimes are homicide, sexual assault, aggravated assault, or assault with serious personal violence. See our FAQs on Financial Assistance for further information.
