My grandmother never remarried after losing her husband in the war when my father was not even a year old. When her only child moved to Spain, she made a bold decision: rather than wait until she was frail, she chose to move into a Residenz while still in her early seventies—active, independent, and full of life. Her motto was simple yet wise:
"Better to move in now, while I can still make friends, rather than wait until I’m too old to enjoy it."
True to her word, she left Berlin for a picturesque region in Germany, embracing a new chapter with enthusiasm. She joined the hiking and theatre groups, learned to play bridge, and built a vibrant social life.
When she passed away, everything was in order—her wishes clearly laid out, every detail considered. She had chosen cremation, specified the flower arrangements for the service, and even selected the songs to be sung. For our family, this was an immense relief. At a time of grief, we were spared the burden of making difficult decisions.
PLANNING & COURAGE
Facing the end of life takes courage. It’s natural to push these thoughts aside, to believe they’re distant concerns. But the reality is, one day, they will matter—to us and to those we leave behind.
Planning ahead isn’t just a practical decision—it’s a meaningful act of love and responsibility, ensuring peace of mind for both you and yours, protecting them from uncertainty, financial burdens, or disagreements during an already emotional time.
Whether it’s selecting a cremation or burial, choosing specific readings, or deciding on the type of ceremony, having everything organised in advance relieves your loved ones from making too many difficult decisions, and ensures they feel supported and guided through the process with care. Taking control of your funeral arrangements now also means making choices that reflect your values, beliefs, and personal wishes.
TAKE THE NEXT STEP WITH CONFIDENCE
Instead of leaving your family to handle the emotional and financial weight of funeral arrangements, why not take charge of your future today? Planning ahead empowers you to move through life with confidence, knowing that everything is taken care of.
At Sanitas Estepona, we offer two specialized funeral insurance plans, carefully designed to suit different needs and life situations:
● For young people and families, we offer an affordable monthly plan that provides broad coverage, including legal assistance for administrative matters and travel insurance for unexpected events abroad.
● For those over 60, we provide a one-time payment that guarantees full coverage for a pre-arranged funeral service. This includes handling all bureaucratic and operational matters, allowing you to make your own choices in advance without the worry of ongoing financial commitments.
With Sanitas Estepona, you’re not just purchasing funeral insurance—you’re securing thoughtful, hassle-free arrangements for yourself and your family, ensuring they are not left with difficult decisions in a time of grief.
