What does your death insurance include?

Cover and services

Society is not informed about the steps to be taken in the event of the death of a loved one. Added to the disorientation and confusion that it generates for families, there is the unexpected investment that a death usually requires.

Traditional funeral practices have a significant environmental impact. Transforming the services and products involved in the funeral to reduce the environmental impact of our last action becomes an act of commitment to the next generation.

Do you still have any questions?

We answer the most frequently asked questions, and, if you want more information, fill in the form on this web page.

What is a death insurance policy that looks after the environment?

Death insurance guarantees a funeral service on the decease of an insured person, as well as the management of all necessary procedures in the event of death: administrative and legal procedures, transfers to any place in Spain and international repatriations.

In our case, death insurance also takes into account 9 principles set by Fundación Tierra, which are based on environmental criteria to guide and facilitate the planning of a low environmental impact burial: reduction in waste products, in non-biodegradable artificial components, in toxic chemical products, in consumption of non-renewable energy, in polluting emissions, incorporating locally produced and certified natural products and materials; we also offer in-person or telephone consultations with a psychologist to take care of the rest of the family's emotional health, among other healthcare cover.

Which funeral home will provide the contracted service?

We have a wide national network of authorised funeral service providers, so you won't have to worry about the management and provision of the service. See here

Am I insured for life with a death insurance?

All of our death insurance policies are life-long. This means that once a death insurance policy is taken out, it is valid for the insured person's whole life unless the policyholder cancels the insurance or stops paying the premium.

If I pass away while abroad, is my transfer covered?

If you are a foreigner and reside in Spain, DKV Protección Familiar includes the repatriation service to your home country, a round trip for a companion and other important advantages. We are the only ones to include it without any extra cost in the death policy!

Is a service due to COVID-19 death covered?

Both the funeral and psychological assistance are covered in the event of death by COVID-19.

In addition, if you are travelling abroad, worldwide emergency assistance is also covered in the event of a COVID-19 contagion.

Moreover, in the event of foreign residents in Spain passing due to COVID-19, we will carry out the international transfer following the provisions of current legislation, provided that the destination country authorises reception. You can also opt for incineration in Spain and a subsequent international transfer of ashes.
