Times change, technology advances and the pandemic has taught us that we cannot always be with our loved ones at the most important times. That is why one of the funeral services that has experienced the greatest growth in recent years is the online funeral. It is a way of bringing family and friends closer together when a loved one dies. How is an online funeral organised? At Stelae we will provide you with all the details.
When deciding on the words to use when scattering the ashes of a loved one, it is important to choose ones that have a special meaning in order to make the process meaningful and emotive. At Stelae, we tell you how the significance of scattering the ashes can vary depending on the words you choose for the final send-off.
When a loved one is cremated, people often want to know whether the ashes can be divided afterwards. At Stelae we will clarify this subject, explaining the legal considerations in this regard as well as the different options available for the ashes.
The first thing to point out is that yes, you can divide the ashes of the deceased. Spanish law allows this but there are considerations that need to be taken into account.
One of the most important national festivities in Spain is All Saints’ Day (el Día de Todos los Santos), which takes place on 1st November. This celebration, with its religious background, is held in Spain as a way to remember loved ones, since 2nd November is, according to the Christian calendar, the Day of the Faithfully Departed). But on All Saints’ Day customs vary in the different autonomous communities and Spanish cities.
When a loved one dies and leaves their home to be inherited, what must be done? Many people are still unclear as to whether the deeds of a home must be changed after an owner’s death or whether any formalities need to be taken in this regard. Stelae will now explain how to proceed in a situation like this.
Social networks bring us closer to our loved ones, even if we are far away, and not only during the good times, but also the bad times. When someone we care about or someone close to someone we are fond of dies, and we cannot offer our condolences physically (for whatever reason), condolences on WhatsApp are often our only alternative. But what do we write in these situations? And how do we find the right words and tone? At Stelae we will help you find the most appropriate way.
A farewell ceremony to honour the memory of a loved one is of great significance when it comes to coping with grief when a family member dies. These ceremonies serve as a way to remember and pay tribute to the deceased person together with other people who loved and appreciated them, making it also a way to give each other mutual support and comfort during these times of grief.
When a loved one dies, in addition to the emotional and sentimental side of things, one of the most immediate concerns for families is the financial aspect. An unforeseen event like this entails a cost which can be even higher if the deceased person did not make any plans. What should you do when a family member dies without life insurance? Stelae will show you how to proceed in these circumstances and suggest the best options to save costs.
When a loved one dies, we want to be close to our family, but many people are not sure about their rights when applying for bereavement leave from their company. At Stelae we try to solve these queries so that you can spend this time with your loved ones.
