Hi all 

I would just like to say,

 My wife heard about Compare Funerals through this forum and we took out a plan for my father in law as we knew he wasn't very well, I felt so strongly about the service we received I thought i want to put my 50pence in,

 Unfortunately my father in law passed away not long after taking the plan out. I have to say the service we received from Compare Funerals was out of this world and also from the funeral director who happened to be around the corner from us. 

Our family can't thank Compare Funerals enough we actually feel 3000 euros was a bargain for the service we received especially when taking into account that we where quoted 4000 euros from Avalon and just under 4000 euros from Ibierian for exactly the same plan. To be honest i couldn't imagine that they could have handled it any better than Compare Funerals did

A big thank you to the hole team at Compare Funerals for all the help and compassion through a very hard time 

David King and family 

Really Sorry to hear about your loss. I have been concerned about who to trust with our plans. Although its not a goof situation it is pleasing to know they looked after you well in such a bad time. 

Ha anyone got an idea why some other s are so much more. I dont mind paying more if it helps my family

I had this plan and to be honest it looks good, i was surprised how sleek (is that a word) the documents were. Nice cardboard folder containing all I needed and importantly what my family needed when the time comes.

Hi Luke, came across this company in the Olive press it didnt say a price though but €3,000 is good. I want to do my research before parting with so much money. Would you recommend  them. I noticed they are much better priced than others. Did they seem professional to you?

Hi, after reading Luke’s post I had a good look at Compare funerals and I have now got a funeral plan with them. Yes the cheapest option is 3000€ and is valid in Spain or the Uk. I am very impressed.

Others are expensive because they can be. They play on your fear and at the time of your loved ones death play on your grief.

My son-in-law passed suddenly in June and the cost was €4600 in Torrevieja and resident, but we have since found out that's where the police arrange to take the body , there are a lot cheaper ones you can go to

I didn’t realise how expensive funerals are in Spain, I previously told my wife if I died while in Benidorm just cremate me there and bring my ashes back to the UK to save herself a load of hassle, it’s obviously cheaper to die in the UK and have a direct cremation, my friends husband died in July and the total direct funeral cost was £995, bargain when you think about it 😊
