Travelodge says it is targeting Alicante, Barcelona, Bilbao, Granada, Malaga, Madrid, Palma, Sevilla, and Valencia in its expansion plans.

were looking for a simple, unattended Direct Cremation rather than the traditional service of old. With one of our directors living in Spain his whole life, we noticed that not many plan providers offered such a plan. This was surprising as the funeral system in Spain seems suited to this type of service. As funerals usually happen so quickly in comparison with other countries, coupled with the fact that a lot of expats have family living all over the world, we would have expected plan providers to offer a Direct Cremation. We could not get our heads round the fact that it was not so readily available by the larger plan providers here in Spain. Maybe it was the lower margins that put certain providers off - but not us. Our goal is to provide a service people want and need as simply as possible. It seems that other providers have followed suit and now offer clients the sim- ple plan a lot of people desire. We are proud of the fact we helped ini- tiate this change so that more people are able to get the send-off they want.
