WHAT IS A FUNERAL PLAN IN SPAIN?
A funeral plan is a plan to take care of a funeral in advance. With a funeral plan you can avoid any hidden or sudden costs, arrange the type of funeral you would like to make sure your wishes are carried out, and alleviate the heartache of your family having to cope with the emotional burden of trying to arrange things at the time of your death.
WHAT IS A PRE-PAID FUNERAL PLAN IN SPAIN?
Instead of receiving a lump sum payment upon your death, a pre-paid funeral plan is designed to take care of all the funeral planning, legal fees, documentation, funeral arrangements, and other costs such as doctors, funeral, homes, coffin, flowers etc. depending on the type of pre-paid funeral plan you have decided upon. As the name suggests, it is pre-paid so you must pay for it in full at today’s prices. Buying a funeral plan now can save you a lot of money in the years to come as Funeral prices double approximately every 10 years.
GUARANTEED FUNERAL PLANS.
Our funeral plans are guaranteed as soon as you make the initial payment. Your payment is 100% secure as it is immediately transferred to a guaranteed trust fund for security.

FUNERAL INSURANCE VS PRE-PAID FUNERAL PLANS.
Some people like to be prepared for the inevitable. It will happen to all of us at some point and preparation can take the stress, emotional strain, and financial worry out of the equation. Here we will explain the differences between the different between pre-paid funeral plans and funeral insurance in Spain.
Just like a will, being prepared and letting people know your plans will put them at ease, and the use of pre-paid funeral plans at an early age can save your family a lot of money when the time comes as there will be no unexpected bills or situations whereby you need to get a loan or use your credit card to cover the expenses. Not just that but having someone take care of all the legal requirements, ceremonies and legal fees and other costs that are involved will reduce the stress.
WHAT IS FUNERAL INSURANCE IN SPAIN?
Funeral insurance is like all other insurances. You pay a monthly premium that goes towards the lump sum cost of your funeral which is normally paid out on your death. You can choose the level of Funeral insurance cover you need or would like, and your family can use that money to pay for your funeral or anything else they want to spend it on. Funeral insurance can be very similar to a life insurance in that you may have to meet certain, medical age and health criteria to contract a policy. However, if it is a specific Funeral plan insurance, then the policy will not likely require, medical, age or health checks.
What is the difference between funeral plans and funeral insurance in Spain?
Funeral plans in Spain are usually sold to the Expat marketplace as a Plan that considers the burial or cremation, either in Spain or in your home country. Most of these plans incorporate everything including the full Monty funeral packages which will arrange everything from the removal of the deceased, completing all the administrative and necessary paperwork, flowers, services, repatriation and whatever your wishes may entail.
The more you want, the more expensive it will be. Most Funeral homes and Crematoriums in Spain will provide you with whatever you feel is suitable for you, even catering for the holding of the deceased until friends and relative can arrive to take part in the funeral services.
With so many different funeral plans now available in Spain and touting for your business, it is often difficult to know, or decide, which ones you can trust, and which ones are right for you. Due to the vast array of plans, many that are not that easy to find, you should always consult with a Funeral Plan Specialist in Spain.
CASH BACK ON FUNERAL PLANS IN SPAIN.
Our Direct Funeral pre-paid plans are the only plans in Spain that will offer you a 50% refund after 15 years, saving you even more money. If after 15 years of having one of our Funerals Direct, pre-paid, fully paid up Funeral plans, and you have not needed it, then you can reclaim 50% of the original Funeral Plan costs. This will not affect your statutory rights and you will still retain the full Funeral Plan conditions.
WHAT ARE THE DIASADVANTAGES OF BOTH?
Funeral insurance is a bit of a gamble as you do not know when you are likely to need it and could be paying far more into the insurance over a longer period, than was expected. If you cancel the insurance funeral plan you will not get anything back or have any cover.
With our Funerals Direct plans, you will get back 50% of the pre-paid amount after 15 years. These pre-paid plans will not require any additional payments and as funeral costs rise; you know it will cover what you have requested for your funeral plans.
A big disadvantage of Funeral Insurance is that it will only provide the funds to cover your funeral, albeit often with cash to spare for the family, and you will still have to make all the arrangements for the funeral at the time of death. Hence a Direct Funeral plan will do more, by taking the burden away from making the arrangements, paying fees, calling doctors, and sorting out the logistics at a time when you would rather someone did it all for you because you have pre planned it all.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUNERAL PLAN OPTIONS IN SPAIN.
It is always worth taking the time to speak to the professionals when trying to arrange the details of your funeral. if you don’t have a plan in place. If you are just looking to provide the funds necessary for your funeral in the unforeseen future, having a regular savings plan or a simple life insurance policy could be an alternative if you are buying it for a young person. These funds can grow over time and be substantially more than you might need for a funeral at that time. It all depends on the life expectancy of the person the plan is for. If that person were to pass away unexpectedly, it might not be enough to cover the funeral costs.
With either option you are taking care of the costs or burdens incurred by your family members when you die.
Funerals Direct provide a selection of pre-paid funeral plans, term payment funeral plans, Funeral insurance plans and life insurance plans to cover your funeral and/or provide additional capital for your family when you are gone.
