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

Hi Yvonne,

We have a joint plan with Avalon, which cost €4,200 when we bought it 5 years ago.  We chose Avalon because my in-laws had plans with them and the service was excellent.  Friends have a plan through their bank, but this is an insurance, rather than a pre-paid plan, so there are conditions attached.  For example, they didn't have full cover until they'd paid for the first year; if they had passed away during the first year, they (or their estate) would have had to pay any shortfall for the funeral.  

I think it really comes down to how much support you or your husband are likely to need in the event of the other´s death.  Personally, I would go direct to the crematorium:

but my husband will need his hand held through the process if I go first, hence why we went for a plan.  You can certainly get them cheaper than Avalon (or Golden Leaves), just make sure you know what it covers.

Kind regards,

Kim
