The Funeral Service Certification, in accordance with EN 15017, ensures the quality of the service, including the greatest level of respect to the deceased person and their family. It facilitates compliance with legal provisions in force, and establishes the essential requirements for controlling the service, carried out in accordance with a standard that incorporates the honesty, integrity and effort that defines the work of the funeral sector each day.
This standard includes requirements for all phases of the process, from consultation and information to the pick-up and relocation of the deceased person and the care offered surrounding this process. Amongst others, for:

With clients:
Strengthening the company's image to customers who benefit from a more transparent and high-quality funeral service.
This certification is applicable to funeral service providers of any size, including private funeral homes and companies that manage funeral homes, cemeteries and public crematoriums.
The European UNE-EN 15017 standard sets out minimum requirements for the better provision of funeral services. The implementation of a quality management system, in accordance with ISO 9001 can be integrated seamlessly with this European standard.
Once AENOR considers that the audit process has been passed in accordance with the requirements set out in the standard EN 15017, it will grant the Funeral Services Certificate and a user licence for the AENOR N Mark for Funeral Services.
