You're dead, who cares?
I worked with a guy in China. He died and the prostitute he was living with refused to vacate the apartment unless the school paid for her train ride home. Anywho, the school told the family, they didn't want to ship him, so he was buried in China.
Your family will NOT be burdened with a massive payment. They cannot force anyone to pay. If you are dead with no money (I don't see how this could be on a work visa), the government will take care of your body and you will be buried in Korea. If you have some money, likely they'll take it "to cover the costs", and then you'll be buried in Korea. |

Transporting the body is a government-to-government agreement. Who fits the bill depends on what the governments decide. Had China required the US to take it's baggage with it, then the US government would have forced the family to take on a massive payment. China *granted* that his body be torched in their territory. However, they were not obligated to do it; it's actually the flag-state's responsibility (i.e. the body's citizenship).
Get insurance or go to hell for making everyone else's life a living one.
Gosh, why am I always forced to correct Da-bendan!? |

Well just to highlight the fact, the American "government" (state, local, federal, whatever) doesn't do shit with their own when in country, so I wouldn't just rely on that.

Cremation around 700K won? That sounds about right. I heard figures of $1,000 back in the U.S. A basic burial runs about 5 or 6 grand, that's bare-bones price, cheap wooden casket in a public plot. |
