In the event of a death

RodandMo-

I am not writing with an answer to your question...rather a comment:

Thank you for asking that...as it is valid and important to know the answer. It is not something I would, early on in my research, think to ask. 

So, I also wait to read the replies on the topic.

Once you are dead does it really matter what they do with your corpse? If so, I would consult your Embassy before you renounce your original citizenship. Speaking personally, I could not care less what they do with my corpse.

http://boquete.ning.com/forum/topics/death-in-panama  There was quite a discussion in this forum on the topic.

But, give up citizenship? (why??) so then they would be a Panamanian citizen? or of another country? If Panamanian, would they want to be buried here, or sent elsewhere? If the person is a citizen of another country I suppose they would be an expat like the rest of us.

I believe it is a very difficult and lengthy process to become a Panamanian citizen, so by the time you've been here that long you'd probably know a lot more and all of us expats

I think it's always better to plan for worst case scenarios, than be caught unprepared.

I know this is a 'worst case scenario' kind of question, and I'm sorry if it has been discussed before, but I didn't know how to search on the forum boards for this topic.

If a person was to give up their citizenship of their country of origin and they passed away in Panama, what is the standard procedure for burial, funeral arrangements, cremation, internment, etc.?
