Women in Business

Empowering women with dignity, leadership, and sisterhood in life’s most important conversations

In the quiet corridors of end-of-life planning, Emma Quantrill is a name spoken with respect, admiration, and a deep gratitude. As the only female director of Golden Leaves Spain, Emma isn’t just leading a business – she’s leading a movement rooted in sisterhood, empathy, and purposeful leadership.

Based in Southern Europe, where thousands of expatriates choose to spend their final years, Emma has become the trusted voice for those navigating the emotionally complex journey of pre-paid funeral planning. What sets her apart is not only her expertise but also her unshakable belief that women deserve to lead – in business, in life, and in legacy.

Golden Leaves Spain: Planning with Dignity

Golden Leaves provides pre-paid funeral plans – a service many avoid discussing, yet all will need one day. Emma approaches this sensitive subject with remarkable calm, confidence, and compassion. Her ability to transform a difficult conversation into a moment of empowerment and clarity is one of her greatest gifts.

“It’s not just about making arrangements. It’s about offering comfort, control, and compassion – when people need it most.”

She frequently works with women who have found themselves, often later in life, responsible for independently handling finances, legalities, and final decisions. Emma meets them where they are – not with pity, but with practicality, presence, and power.

Leading with Substance, Serving with Soul

Emma’s career began in the insurance sector, but she quickly recognised a deeply unmet need in funeral planning – a gap between financial services and emotional support. She felt a calling not just to offer products but to become an anchor for women navigating grief, planning, and emotional transitions.

Today, she is one of the most experienced professionals in her field, ensuring every process is legally, FCA-regulated, and precisely tailored. Her service model is simple: treat every person as she would treat her own family. And she does.

Emma is often the person clients call during their most vulnerable moments. She answers not just efficiently but with genuine care. She doesn’t just promise peace of mind – she delivers it day in and day out.

Sisterhood as a Mission

Traditional roles don’t shape Emma’s story. She is unmarried and has no children, yet she has built a legacy of nurturing, supporting, and leading with maternal strength. Her mission has always been to create space for women – space to plan, speak openly, and reclaim agency over their lives.

“Women have always been the silent planners behind the scenes. It’s time we were front and centre, deciding, directing, and leading.”

Her work is her ministry of sisterhood. She brings women together through courage, service, and the shared knowledge that planning for the inevitable can be not just responsible but empowering.

Emma believes in teaching, not telling, and empowers women to understand, take ownership, and guide their families through whatever may come.

Leadership in Action, Sisterhood in Practice

As the only female at the executive level within her organisation, Emma proves that compassionate leadership is decisive. She forges ahead in an industry traditionally dominated by men, never losing sight of the unique strength women bring to business.

Her work is grounded in the belief that every woman, regardless of age or circumstance, deserves to feel seen, safe, and supported in her decisions. Whether it’s a client facing the future or a colleague learning the ropes, Emma uplifts with purpose, presence, and fierce gentleness.

“Sisterhood isn’t just friendship – it’s a shared responsibility to lift, guide, and empower one another.”

Emma Quantrill isn’t simply preparing people for the end. She’s helping women claim ownership of their stories, finances, and futures with integrity, confidence, and grace.

Golden Leaves Spain is her platform. But her true legacy? A coast filled with women who are more informed, empowered, and at peace – thanks to one woman’s vision for what sisterhood in business should look like.
