Funeral Insurance Estepona

Q: Can I add my UK-resident parent or family member to a Estepona funeral policy?

Family members who are habitually resident in Spain can be added to the same policy. UK-resident family members cannot be insured under a Spanish decesos policy because Spanish insurance regulation requires the insured to be resident here. However, a Spanish-resident family member can take out a separate policy to ringfence repatriation logistics for themselves - we often arrange this for expat couples where both have UK adult children but plan to be repatriated to the UK on death.

First, it co-ordinates the funeral logistics so the family does not have to learn the Spanish system at a difficult moment. Second — and critically for expats in Estepona — the integral plan includes full repatriation back to the UK, Ireland or the Netherlands, which would otherwise cost the family between €5,500 and €9,000 cash up front.

Tanatorio Sat-Estepona (Sierras de Estepona) is the local facility; repatriation usually routes via Málaga or Gibraltar.
