Funeral Insurance Altea

Funeral Insurance in Altea — Generali Cover

Funeral insurance in Spain (seguro de decesos) is a service contract that arranges and pays for all funeral costs directly with the funeral home — your family has nothing to organise or pay at what is already a very difficult time. Generali's decesos policy covers the complete funeral service in Spain, repatriation of remains to your home country, and all administrative procedures, regardless of your age or health.

As authorised Generali agents serving Altea and the Marina Baixa, Alicante, we arrange funeral insurance — including repatriation for the town's many international residents — with no medical questionnaire, no age limit and immediate availability. The policy is one of the most cost-effective insurance products available — monthly premiums from around €15-€30 for a single person.

We cover all types of expats in Altea — retired residents, NLV/DNV visa holders, self-employed autónomos and new arrivals. All advice is in English, all documents available in English, and our Jávea office is 25 minutes via AP-7 from Altea.

Funeral Insurance Altea — What It Covers

Altea is home to a long-established and notably international community — British, Dutch, Belgian and other Northern European residents and artists who have settled here over decades. For many, family and a final resting place remain in the home country, which makes repatriation the central concern, and it is the most expensive and logistically complex element of an expat death in Spain.

Dying as an expat involves a level of complexity that catches many families unprepared — coordinating with the Spanish funeral home (tanatorio), consulate notifications, death registration and arranging transport home, often from abroad and in another language while dealing with grief. A Generali decesos policy handles all of this directly: the insurer contacts the funeral home, arranges and pays for every service, and coordinates repatriation of remains to any country in the world. The family receives a single point of contact, and we make sure the whole process — and the paperwork — is dealt with in English. They pay nothing.
