Hi janboon, we're here already, we arrived 3 weeks ago. We've lost one of our dogs since arriving 😢. He had a brain tumour or bleed on the brain, so we said goodbye last week. 😢 

But this just made us think even more seriously about our funeral plans. I have to say, the Spanish pet hospital at Murcia we're amazing. We've now had the cremation box they supplied and it's lovely, it's a metal, very ornate, box which opens and inside is a small bag which contains some of his ...

...ashes. It has his name on the top. Its amazing. 

We're now renting in La Alfoquia for 6 months, just put an offer in in a villa in El Cucador, which has been accepted. 

So things are looking a little better for us now, so as you say, hopefully we'll have many happy years here to make memories together. 

Take care, and kind regards

So sorry to hear you lost your dog, they are a big part of the family aren't they.

Didn't realise you were here. La Alfoquia and Cucador are nice.

There is a bar in Cucador called La Vida, Wednesday night is steak night and Ftiday is fish and chips night both great. Who knows we might bump into one another there, its a small world.

Hi Jenni, 

That's a very good point. We'll have to ask Karen from Collyfers when we see her, if they do a similar plan. Might have to take a look at Golden Leaves too?

Hi janboon, wow, yes it really is a small world. 

Yeah we went for a quick visit to La Vida to check out our new local. We only had a coffee and spookily we bumped into one half of one of our sellers there. So we had a lovely chat with him about the area and the sale of his home to us. It was really nice. ...

Yeah if ever you're at the La Vida and we're there, we'll be the ones with the black and white Shih Tzu, Nelson, who goes everywhere with us. 

Take care and kind regards

Good morning. You will probably find, as we did with Avalon, that Golden Leaves do not operate on this region. Avalon use Collyfer instead down here.  I cannot confirm that with Golden Leaves, but I assume it probably is.  I cannot comment on prices however, but I assume they are pretty...

... the same.  From speaking with friends who have lost loved ones in this area,  Collyfer comes highly recommended.  One of the main things to ask, as we did, will the funeral plan cover you if you move back to the UK AND with the fixed price.

Hope this helps,

Hi Jan, 

Lol 😆. He's a little quiet at the moment with losing his best friend Sam last week, who says dogs don't grieve too eh?

Hopefully he'll be back to feeling himself very soon?

All the best, take care and kind regards,
