Another reason to go to the seminar and ask questions specific to your final plans, but you might need to meet one on one for a detailed discussion to get those answers. At least in the discussions I had at my two seminars, company "B" indicated that the "travel insurance" is optional whereas company "A" did not present it as optional, nor as an "insurance policy". One needs to make an appropriate informed decision and just reading information online in these forums is not, IMO, something I would rely upon.

Keep in mind that the requirements for handling of remains may be different in other states (I don't honestly know), not to mention outside of the US (which I would feel is more likely). Are there documentation requirements and associated fees to bring the remains back into the US? What if your final plans include embalming for a viewing prior to cremation? I would suggest that the cost to transport embalmed remains would be quite a bit higher than $10 via priority mail.

I say again, there is value in at least getting information specific to your personal desires and then planning accordingly.
