Cremation in Spain for Ukrainians
Losing a loved one is always hard. And when it happens abroad, in Spain, confusion adds to the pain: what to do, where to turn, how to properly arrange everything?
Vespera takes care of the organization completely — from the body pickup to delivering the urn with ashes to your home in Ukraine.
How it works
After your call, we explain each step and agree on all the details. Then you sign the authorization remotely — via electronic services, without the need to go to Spain.
We pick up the body from the place of death, take care of the preparation — washing, dressing, placing in the coffin. We obtain the medical certificate, register the death, and conduct the cremation at the appropriate crematorium.
After the cremation — we receive the urn and all documents, legalize them, prepare permits for transportation across the border, and deliver the ashes to you in Ukraine.
How much does it cost
The average cost of cremation in Spain for Ukrainian citizens is from 3,800 to 4,800 euros. This amount includes the transportation of the body within Spain, conducting the cremation, arranging all documents, a standard urn, interaction with the consulate, and delivery of the ashes to Ukraine.
The final price depends on the region, the farewell format, and the family’s additional wishes — for example, an individual urn, religious service, or musical accompaniment. All this is discussed in advance and fixed before work begins. No unexpected expenses after signing the agreements.
How long does cremation take
In standard cases — from 5 to 7 days, taking into account the preparation of all documents. If the death is related to a traffic accident or a criminal proceeding, the timelines may be longer — due to the need for a forensic autopsy and obtaining the necessary permits.
In which cities do we operate
Vespera organizes cremations in all cities of Spain: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza, Malaga, Murcia, Palma, Las Palmas, Bilbao, Alicante, Cordoba, Valladolid, Vigo, Gijon, and hundreds of smaller cities.
Can you say goodbye before cremation
Yes. The family has the opportunity to hold a farewell ceremony before cremation — in a special mortuary room or ritual space. This service is paid separately and organized at your request.
If necessary, the deceased can be dressed — just give us the clothing, or we can assist with the selection.
Transporting the urn with ashes to Ukraine
For transporting the ashes across the border, we will prepare a complete set of documents: medical certificate of death, embossed certificate, cremation certificate, permit from the sanitary and epidemiological service, certificate of absence of foreign attachments, and consular document.
All formalities are our concern. You just wait at home.
