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.
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.

Creating a personal farewell

Every life is unique, and we believe a funeral should reflect the person being remembered. We can help arrange:

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.
Charitable donations in place of flowers, with a record of donors provided to the family.
An attendance record, if requested.
A funeral tea, refreshments or catering at your chosen venue.

Paperwork and practical guidance

We help you manage the administration so you can focus on your family. This includes:

Guidance and practical assistance with registering the death, including transport where needed.
Coordinating the paperwork required for burial or cremation.
Obtaining Spanish and international death certificates, including those needed for use in the UK.
Arranging death notices 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 one 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.
Thank-you cards and newspaper acknowledgements.
An obituary and a lasting tribute in our Online Peace Garden.
Access to bereavement counselling and support.

Planning ahead

For those who wish to make arrangements in advance, we can provide information about pre-paid funeral plans and discuss your preferences at your own pace.
