While in Austria, although none of us wants to think about it, it is possible that you could be left to deal with the death of a loved one. There are many decisions to be made and the British Foreign Office have put together a booklet (PDF) which you can download.

Please note, that under Austrian law, by default, everyone is an organ donor. If you wish to opt out there are a few steps you must take.
Regardless of your choice concerning organ donation, you should carry a written statement detailing your wishes at all times, this can be enclosed with your ID.
More information about organ donation can be found at the Austrian Foreign Ministry's website.
