Funeral Director in Alicante — Complete Service from €1,900
Losing someone in Alicante is difficult enough without having to worry about paperwork. Funeraria San Xoan handles everything: collection, documentation, cremation and the delivery of the ashes, with a fixed price agreed with you before we start.
We support families across Alicante and the surrounding areas — Playa de San Juan, Cabo de las Huertas, Albufereta, Vistahermosa, the city centre, San Vicente del Raspeig, Mutxamel, El Campello and Sant Joan d'Alacant — from long-standing local residents to British, Irish and Scandinavian expats who have made Alicante their home.
Funeral services in Alicante: what we take care of
Alicante is a large, busy city, and when a death occurs the family suddenly faces several official processes at once: the medical certificate, registration at the Registro Civil de Alicante, contact with the hospital or care home, and often the family's home consulate. Our job is to take every one of these tasks off your shoulders.
We collect the deceased from Hospital General Universitario Dr. Balmis, Hospital Universitario de Sant Joan d'Alacant, Hospital Vithas Alicante, any care home, or the family home, whether that is a flat in the centre or a house near Cabo de las Huertas. We can also arrange collection for relatives arriving through Alicante-Elche airport, so nothing is left waiting.
- Collection and transfer of the deceased anywhere in Alicante
- Medical certificate signature and death certificate
- Registration at the Registro Civil de Alicante
- Cremation and delivery of the ashes to the family
- Consulate liaison and coordination for relatives arriving by air
Funeral costs in Alicante — no surprises
Families in Alicante often tell us they most fear an inflated bill appearing later. That's why our base price is published and honoured: the complete service with cremation in Alicante starts from €1,900, including the eco coffin, collection, medical certificate signature, court registration and delivery of the ashes in an urn. If you would like more — a farewell ceremony with the urn in a hotel function room in Alicante, with catering, or burial at the Cementerio Municipal Nuestra Señora del Remedio — we quote it separately, in writing.
We are a family-run funeral director, not part of a large chain or an insurance company. The same person supports you from your first call in Alicante right through to receiving the ashes.
English speaking funeral home in Alicante
Alicante's population includes large communities of British, Irish, Dutch and Scandinavian residents, many of whom find the Spanish administrative system confusing at a difficult time. We explain every step calmly in English, French or German, and handle the official documents ourselves. If the family wishes to take the ashes abroad, we also arrange the cremation certificate and the paperwork required to send ashes overseas.
A dignified farewell in Alicante
For families who would like a calm, unhurried farewell, we can organise an intimate ceremony with the urn in a hotel function room in Alicante, with a set menu or catering for relatives who have travelled in from abroad. It is a format many expat families appreciate, particularly when relatives are flying in through Alicante-Elche airport and want somewhere welcoming to gather. We prepare a tailored quote with no obligation.
