Immediate Steps
When a loved one passes away in Spain, the first step is to contact a funeral director who can guide you through the necessary procedures. Our team is available 24/7 to coordinate transportation, documentation and funeral arrangements while supporting families during this difficult time.
Spanish regulations generally require burial or cremation to take place within 24 to 48 hours after death, depending on local circumstances and documentation. Our team manages all timing and legal requirements on your behalf.
The most important document is the medical death certificate issued by a doctor. Additional documentation may include identification documents, insurance information and authorizations for cremation or repatriation if required.
Cremation & Burial
Cremation is the process of respectfully reducing the body to ashes through high-temperature procedures carried out in authorized crematoriums. The ashes can later be kept, buried or transported according to the family’s wishes and local regulations.
