Compassionate Consultation by the Sea.png

Caring support, every step of the way.
Losing someone you love can feel overwhelming, especially when you are arranging a funeral abroad. At The English Funeral Directors, we provide a complete, English-speaking funeral service, offering practical guidance and compassionate support from the first phone call.

We are available 24 hours a day, serving families throughout Costa Cálida and Costa Blanca South. We take time to understand your wishes, explain the arrangements clearly and handle the necessary paperwork. Whether you would like a direct cremation, a simple farewell, a traditional funeral or a personal celebration of life, we will help you create a fitting tribute to your loved one.

Arranging the funeral.

We guide you through each stage and coordinate the arrangements on your behalf. Our services include:

Arranging a suitable funeral date and time with the church, cemetery, crematorium and person conducting the service.
Exploring options to allow time for family and friends to travel. (Delaying a service is not a problem for us)
Bringing your loved one into our care and arranging transfer to your chosen tanatorio or chapel of rest.
Arranging private viewing according to your family’s wishes.
Advising on arrangements for your loved one to remain at home before the funeral, where permitted and practical.
Providing a choice of coffins and caskets to suit different preferences and budgets.
Arranging the funeral vehicles and experienced staff needed to conduct the service with dignity and care.

An English-speaking minister or person to lead the service.
Favourite hymns, music, readings and poems.
Live musical tributes, including a soloist, piper or choir.
Personalised order of service sheets and memorial cards.
Floral tributes from family, friends and colleagues, including care of flowers delivered before the funeral.

Obtaining Spanish and international death certificates, including those needed for the UK.
Arranging death notices on Facebook and obituaries in local or international newspapers.

Repatriation and transfers

If you wish to bring your loved one home or arrange a funeral elsewhere, we can coordinate the transfer of your loved ones body or their ashes within Spain or overseas. We will explain the process, organise the necessary arrangements and keep you informed throughout.

Support after the funeral

Our care continues after the service. Depending on your wishes, we can help with:

Collecting your loved one’s ashes and arranging delivery to your home.
Arrangements for the final resting place of ashes.
Headstones, memorials and keepsakes.
