Frequently asked questions about funeral insurance
What is funeral insurance?
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 addition, funeral insurance includes a wide range of assistance guarantees and complementary cover that complete its assistance and family nature.
If I die while I am abroad, will the funeral insurance cover my transfer? Repatriation of foreign residents.
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 guarantee it without an extra cost in your funeral policy!
Do I have medical assistance abroad?
Did you know that with your DKV death insurance policy, you are also covered when you travel abroad, with up to 18,000 euros for medical expenses in the event of an emergency? We make the difference with the limit.
What does hospitalisation cover in a funeral insurance policy?
It is a daily allowance or benefit for each day that the insured person is admitted to hospital. At DKV, the cover is extended to a limit of 365 days of hospitalisation.
In addition, this guarantee includes a childbirth benefit and an additional benefit for including the newborn in the family insurance policy.
Are there any waiting periods?
Some companies apply waiting periods ranging between 20 and 90 days from the date of taking out the insurance for funeral cover.
At DKV, there are no waiting periods. The rights are immediate, but before taking out the insurance, all insured persons must answer a short health questionnaire, which is common practice and which will allow us to discard covering any non-insurable risks (e.g. cancer patients or patients with other severe illnesses).
Hospitalisation cover has a waiting period of 3 months (except due to accident) and childbirth cover has an 8-month waiting period.
In the rest of guarantees, the rights of use are immediate.

The funeral insurance is an insurance for the provision of services, that is, it mainly covers organising, managing and executing the funeral service on the decease of an insured person, as well as covers the cost of this service.
Why take out a funeral insurance?
For many reasons, such as due to the cost of a service, which is always higher if privately contracted, or for the peace of mind of your family, thus avoiding them having to bear the responsibility of contracting a funeral service when you pass away at such an emotionally complicated time.
How much is funeral insurance?
