COMPARE FUNERAL PLANS IN SPAIN.

Funeral Plans and cremations in Spain - a consideration.

Did you know that in Spain, Portugal, Canary Islands and Cyprus where many British citizens have chosen to have a home, if someone passes away at home, the process can be quick, but complicated? Under Spanish law for example, the Guardia Civil (the Police) must be called and then a doctor is contacted. The doctor issues a temporary certificate, after which the doctor or Police will contact the local funeral director to attend to the deceased.

The funeral director, who may not speak English, will ask for a “release form” to be signed without knowledge of expenses incurred, allowing the removal of the deceased. Unknowingly, your family could be charged overpriced fees, absurd extra costs, and most importantly, feel overly stressed and heartbroken that you have passed. At www.insuranceinspain.com we would like everybody to pre-plan their funeral arrangements with us, and then enjoy the rest of their lives (without worry).

Another option is to have a life insurance policy that provides you with sufficient funds to cover for any funeral considerations and in the event of the death of the insured person, additional funds for his/her beneficiaries.

Here are some more facts to consider:

•   The average cost of a funeral has risen 88% in the last 10 years and is continuing to rise
•   European procedures differ greatly than in the UK; most funerals take place within 48 hours
•   If abroad, assets and cash may be frozen; creating difficulty to release funds
• Out of country funerals put a time pressure on your family and friends to pay their respects, not to mention language barriers and gaining knowledge of a very different funeral system.
