Looking for information from people who have sadly had to deal with the death of a loved one and genuine experiences not from sales people.
Is it essential to have a prepaid funeral plan? If so what company did you use and how was their service.

Arranging a funeral without a funeral plan, how was your experience and who did you use.
My husband has been very unwell and we’re getting older and this is playing on my mind as we have no experience in Spain. I would really appreciate hearing the experiences of people who have had to deal with the death of a loved one.
Many thanks
Funeral plans…
I researched these here in Spain extensively last year and decided against going with Avalon and Golden Leaves because they were so expensive, coming in at €4000 for their cheapest plan, a simple cremation, plus Avalon were very pushy in their sales approach.
I visited my local crematorium to find that paying them direct for a cremation at the was costing €4200 at that time and would clearly increase annually.
I checked out various Spanish and British products with other companies and eventually found Funeral Plans Europe, and their director, Moira Carmenate, who was a previous European Director for Avalon.
I thoroughly recommend them and her. We bought the Palmerita Plan at €2495, which provides the same simple cremation as that with Avalon and Golden Leaves.

Cheers for now
