Funeral Plans Spain

Why you should consider getting a funeral plan in Spain.

We never like talking about those final moments but sadly, it will happen to all of us at some point in time. Of course, we all hope that point to a long way in the future. Nevertheless, even if it is many years into the future, without the necessary provisions, a funeral could become a massive financial burden for your loved ones.

Mostly, they will want to give you the best send-off they could possibly, but with so many costs involved, it can soon add up to a fairly hefty sum. There are many great things about living in Spain and most of the time it really is like living the dream. However, one thing that seems to be annoy most of us is the unnecessary paper work and procedures that we have to go through from time to time. Unfortunately, dyeing is one of them.

According to Spanish law, if a person dies the Civil Guard must be contacted as well as a doctor, who can provide a temporary death certificate. At this point either of these parties will then get in touch with a funeral director so that the deceased person can be removed from the premises.

This is the point at which you need to pay attention. Local funeral directors rarely speak great English and, if you are not fluent in Spanish, there can be some misunderstandings when it comes to costs. They will request a release form and if you are not fully furnished with all the costs involved at this point, and afterwards, you could end up incurring many unnecessary fees, which can often be high.
