Compare Funerals launches new app to modernise funeral planning in Spain

Compare Funerals, a Sotogrande-based company that championed direct cremation in Spain, has introduced a mobile app to simplify and personalize the management of prepaid funeral plans. Over the course of approximately 18 months, the app enables users to access crucial documents, schedule consultations, update personal information, monitor payments, alter payment methods, and even share the app with friends to earn rewards.

What sets this app apart, however, is its innovative feature allowing clients to record a video message, securely stored and passed on to their loved ones posthumously. This idea arose from a key observation: direct cremation, now chosen by roughly 85% of Compare Funerals' clients, often deprives families of the opportunity to gather and find closure.

Director Jack Smith emphasizes that this feature holds particular significance for the international community. Funerals and cremations in Spain typically occur much faster than expats are accustomed, and when relatives reside in the UK, Ireland, or northern Europe, gathering them promptly can be unfeasible.

By offering this flexibility, Compare Funerals aims to provide comfort during an emotionally challenging time. The prepaid plan empowers clients to make decisions in advance, alleviating the burden on grieving relatives. With everything contained within the app, managing funeral arrangements becomes more streamlined. While technological advancement is a priority, the company remains committed to preserving the human element in their services.

The app is now accessible on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. For further details, clients can contact Compare Funerals at 911 436 813 or visit their website at www.comparefuneral.org.
