Golden Leaves International Understanding Direct Cremation About us
Why Should I Get a Direct Cremation Plan? An unattended Direct cremation is for people not wanting to have the fuss and expense of a traditional funeral. It is a low-cost simple option that enables your family to celebrate your life away from the more traditional locations of church and crematorium. The direct cremation plan allows you to lock in the cost at today’s prices rather than run the risk paying increased fees in the future. These are the benefits of a direct cremation and a solution to relieve financial and emotional burden from your loved ones; • Buying a direct cremation will protect your family against rising funeral costs. • A Golden Leaves direct cremation funeral plan fixes the price at the time of the plan starting. You will never have to pay more. • Our Plan is fully portable. So if you move anywhere in Spain (including Balearics and Canaries) or back to the UK for that matter, your plan comes with you. • We also offer flexible payment options to suit most budgets. • Significant amount of pressure and stress is removed from your families’ shoulders, as everything has been organised already. To activate the plan its just one phone call and they can concentrate on the more important thing… remembering you. • Your money is held in a trust fund, it’s called the Golden Leaves Trust Fund so you have the peace of mind knowing its protected and your funeral is carried out. • The company is regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority What is a Direct ‘Unattended’ Cremation? Direct cremation can be a much more affordable option than a traditional funeral. Golden Leaves direct cremation plan is from €2,489.

Whether paid in a single payment or over 12 months instalments*, the total cost for the plan is just €2,489. You can pay in instalments over 12 to 96 months. If you pay an €100 deposit, the monthly payments are €37.42 per month over 96 months, with a total of €3,632.17 to pay. *Instalment options are not available if you have been advised by a doctor of a condition or illness that will cause death within 12 months of applying for a plan. Cover for accidental death only in the first 12 months of your plan. Of course, Direct Cremation doesn’t suit everyone. Some of us would rather have a larger and fully attended traditional style of funeral, which is why Golden Leaves range of plans has been built to offer alternative options.
