Looking for an alterative.
Following a phone call, the very next day a jay Patel called at my home at the time given, and gave me all the information about all the different funeral plans and the ways of paying. The inclusion of having the cremation in Spain, if you passed away in Spain, or if you passed away in the UK you could have your cremation there, this is included in the plan. Having looked at life insurance to cover the cost of a funeral this policy means both items are covered a no brainer to me. Thank you Jay for your clarity in your presentation. when I mentioned to others I had gone with Golden Leaves the comments were that it was one of the best. i would recommend this service to anone who is looking

Funeral planning process
Apart from not being able to speak personally to the person we were dealing with, as everything was done over the phone and online which we felt was rather impersonal we were happy with the rest of the process.

We decided to arrange and pay for our funerals so that the burden did not fall too our children, this means that we can have a simple no frills funeral that we want.
This leaves our families the choice of how they would like to celebrate our lives too them at their convenience, this we think takes the pressure off fixing dates and their availability.
Golden Leaves offer a great service and have arranged all the main aspects of our non attendance funerals.
The staff were very clear on what is included and has allowed us too lock In our funeral costs.

The introduction to Golden Leaves from our local funeral director.
The introduction to Golden Leaves from our local funeral director meant that we’d done much of the discussion and decision making before our initial contact with the Golden Leaves representative. This allowed the process to be quick & efficient and undertaken remotely.
