Fast

Direct cremation is a quick procedure that is carried out shortly after the passing of our loved one, without the need for a wake, ceremony, or other additional expenses typical of a traditional funeral (flowers, music, etc.).

Affordable

The price of direct cremation is lower than any other funeral service, as the deceased is taken directly from the place of death to the crematorium to be cremated.

How do we work?

At Stelae, we offer a highquality direct cremation service to meet the needs of every family and to ensure that the process is fast, transparent, affordable, and involves the fewest possible formalities. We have the qualified personnel that families require, as well as the most comprehensive funeral service.

What sets Stelae apart from other cremation services?

The direct cremation service offered by Stelae is the most affordable compared to other companies that provide this option. This is because Stelae has no intermediaries and because we take measures that allow us to reduce the costs of the process. We carry out the cremation service during offpeak hours at the crematoriums available in the province where the death occurred times that allow for greater energy savings and, consequently, a lower cost for the family. Stelae’s direct cremation service is designed for people who do not have a funeral insurance policy, although you may also contact us if you do. In addition, the service contracted with Stelae may be arranged for whomever the contracting party deems appropriate
 

Where do we carry out our direct cremation services?

Stelae strives to provide families with every possible convenience when a loved one passes away. For this reason, our direct cremation service can be contracted online.

We offer different direct cremation options that adapt to the needs of each family, because we want to be as close as possible when they need us most, assisting them with all procedures and arrangements.

To provide the most comprehensive funeral service, we operate in 14 crematorium complexes in all towns within the following provinces:

  • Barcelona
  • Girona
  • Tarragona
  • Mallorca
  • Ibiza

Our direct cremation service optionally includes delivering the ashes of the deceased to the family’s home within the province where the death occurred.

We have no intermediaries and we travel to collect the deceased, transport them to the crematorium, and, after the cremation, carry out the subsequent custody and delivery of the ashes. We are available 24 hours a day so you can notify us of the death and we can activate our collection and cremation service.
