The price of a direct cremation can vary mainly because of the difference between municipal taxes in each case. The cost is not the same in every city so the amount that families must pay will depend on the place where the cremation is being carried out. Stelae maintains the same price in all the cities where it operates in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.

Another aspect that can influence the price of direct cremation is the type of urn chosen, as different options may be available.

The basic direct cremation service includes:

• Administrative procedures.
• Collection of the deceased from the place of death.
• Transfer to the cremation centre.
• Eco coffin.
• Different options of urns, including ecological urns.
• Cremation.
• Home delivery of the ashes to the family of the deceased or the scattering of the ashes in the Regional Cemetery Roques Blanques, with certificate delivery afterwards.

The price of direct cremation may vary depending on the municipal taxes of each locality, as well as the type of urn chosen, for example.

With a direct cremation, funeral costs are considerably reduced, as some services such as a wake or ceremony are not required. The average price is around €2,100 among the companies that offer this type of service.

There are different legal requirements in Spain for direct cremation when a family member dies.

Yes, direct cremation is the cheapest funeral service today, even cheaper than other types of cremation such as traditional funeral service cremation or cremation with a memorial service afterwards.

The reason is that with direct cremation there are no additional services (wake, flowers, ceremony, etc).
