As an independent Funeral Plans Consultant in the Costa del Sol area of Andalucia in Southern Spain, I have looked at the several companies who are offering Pre-Paid Funeral Plans and Funeral Insurance and believe that the best solution is offered by Golden Leaves of Croydon, England who offer Pre-Paid Funeral Plans to mainly, though not exclusively, British ex-Patriates.
The following pages describe the various features of the service offered by Golden Leaves but here are a few of the most relevant considerations:
- Golden Leaves are part of Rowland Brothers who have been Funeral Directors in Croydon since 1875. Today’s Managing Director is Stephen Rowland.
- The Plans offered by Golden Leaves are dual country, equally valid in the UK.
- All monies are held by the Golden Leaves Trust, totally separate from the Company, to ensure the safety of clients’ funds.
- Golden Leaves plans are flexible and can be altered as required.
- Having a Funeral Plan in place gives our clients peace of mind in the knowledge that their wishes will be carried out requiring the minimum involvement from surviving relatives.
- Pre-paying at today’s prices will save a great deal of money no matter how much prices have risen in the meantime.
- Golden Leaves are Registered Members of The Funeral Planning Authority and Founder Members of the National Association for Pre-Paid Funeral Plans, and conform to The Financial Services & Markets Act 2000.
- Golden Leaves plans cater for cremations or burials, and may include repatriations through their sister company, Rowland Brothers International.
