How a funeral service is arranged in Torrecárdenas
If the death occurs at Torrecárdenas University Hospital, let us know as soon as the medical team informs you: we take charge of the release from the hospital mortuary and of the medical death certificate. If it occurs at a home or at a care home in the neighbourhood, we come just the same. The wake is held at the Sol de Portocarrero Crematorium and Funeral Home, on Camino de los Almendros, which has rooms and a crematorium on the same site.
If the family wants a religious ceremony, we arrange it at the parish they prefer, without them having to make calls or fit times together. For the burial we arrange the niche or the grave at the San José Municipal Cemetery, a few minutes from the neighbourhood, and we take care of registering the death at the Almería Civil Registry, in the Ciudad de la Justicia, ourselves.
The practical advantage of Torrecárdenas is distance: hospital, funeral home and cemetery all share postcode 04009, so very little time passes between the collection and the wake and the family does not have to cross the city. If the deceased was not from Almería and has to be transferred to their home town, or repatriated, we organise that too.
