Repatriation of bodies from abroad
All deaths must be registered in the country where the death
occurs - a foreign (local) death certificate will then be
issued. Your tour guide, the local police or the British
Consul can advise you on how to do this.
You can also often register the death at the British Consulate
as well. You don't have to do this, but if you do you'll be given a
UK death certificate and a record will be kept at the General
Registry Office's Overseas Registration section in the UK.
