Expats Are Rushing to Secure Cremation Plans in Spain

1,000s have acted fast to protect their loved ones from hefty funeral bills**

We plan our weddings… We plan our holidays… We plan our careers… as expats, we certainly planned our move here to Spain.

So, it only makes sense we should plan for the only true certainty that can’t be avoided… Death.

The Spanish funeral system is different to what many expats would be used to.

In Spain, funerals traditionally take place within 48 hours of the death, giving family a much shorter time to plan a funeral.

In addition, language barriers and an unfamiliar Spanish funeral system may make a difficult time even more stressful for your loved ones.

€3,617 – Average Cost of a Spanish Cremation*

Due to inflation… we predict funeral prices could climb to historic highs.

Maybe that’s why so many expats, are opting for a ‘no-fuss’ direct cremation. It’s often the cheapest option. And by preplanning, the cost is locked in, protecting your family from any inflation of funeral costs over the coming years.

But… these costs could have been avoided.

Savvy seniors are fighting back with an easy solution.

How?

By opting for a direct cremation plan instead of a more traditional funeral plan.

42% Less Than Most Popular Funeral Plans

Direct cremations have likely risen in popularity over the last few years because of their affordability.

For an example of the cost savings… Avalon’s Direct to Cremation Plan (Spain) is 42% less than their most popular traditional plan ‘Avalon Plus Funeral Plan (Spain)’.

A saving of €1,900.

What is a direct cremation?

A direct cremation is considered the simplest cremation. It’s a cremation with no funeral service or ceremony, and the ashes can be returned directly to the family.

So, there’s no expensive ceremonies or hearses.

It’s a great option if you’d prefer a simple, ‘fuss-free’ cremation.

Then, if your loved ones wish, they can arrange and pay for their own send-off at a preferred time and place… without the need of keeping to tradition.

Not right for everyone of course, but for some, it’s the right choice.
