Handa ka na ba mamatay? (When an OFW dies abroad: It's costly and complicated)

May nabasa akong article sa GMANews.tv regarding sa repatriation nightmare na pinagdaanan ng pamilya ng isang OFW sa China.
Yung problema sa language, sa mga proseso sa ibang bansa, sa kawalang tulong ng embassy o OWWA at kung anu-ano pang problemang pinagdaanan nila maiuwi lang ang bangkay.
Ito yung article:

Ayoko sana ng morbid na topic pero tamang-tama kasi baka biglang may matigok dito(huwag naman sana) dahil sa sakit, sa aksidente o sa simpleng panggagalaiti sa init ngayon...

Alam ba natin o may nakakalam ba ng proseso dito sa Qatar?
Paano ba magrepatriate ng bangkay?
Palagay ko mas maganda alam na rin natin para kung hindi man sa atin mangyari ay makatulong tayo ng malaki sa mga nadadalamhati..

Because this thread has been referred to in the main forum, I am providing an English translation:

I have read an article on GMANews.tv regarding the repatriation nightmare a family of an OFW went through in China. The language problem, the processes in a foreign land, the lack of help from the Embassy or OWWA and other problems they endured just to bring home the corpse.
Here is the article:

I do not want to have such a morbid topic but it is just the right time because someone may suddenly die here (I hope not) due to sickness, accident or just by simply gnashing one's teeth because of the current heat....


Do we know or does someone know the process here in Qatar ?
How do we repatriate the deceased?
I think it is better for us to know so that even if it may not happen to us we may be able to help those who are mourning the dead.
