Caring for your loved ones at the hardest moment
DKV Protección Familiar is a funeral insurance policy that frees the family from the financial and organizational burden at the moment of loss. Unlike life insurance, where relatives receive a financial payout, this policy takes on the organization itself: paying for and holding the funeral according to local customs, processing documents, and guiding the family through all the bureaucratic procedures. It includes obtaining the death certificate, as well as guidance on the widow’s pension and inheritance tax. Enrollment conditions depend on the insured’s age, and the policy remains available, including for older relatives, under the insurer’s current conditions.
For foreigners in Spain, repatriation is especially important: the policy arranges the transfer of the body to the home country or to wherever the family is, and covers a companion’s ticket in both directions. The coverage goes far beyond the funeral itself. The family receives psychological support during bereavement, legal protection in damage claims, and emergency medical assistance during trips abroad under the policy conditions. Separately, there are modern services: will preparation and legal support under the programme’s conditions, help managing the digital legacy and closing online accounts subject to the platforms’ capabilities, and even assistance in the event of a pet’s death.
