Your funeral, your plan, your way
Protect your family from unfamiliar procedures, language barriers and funeral costs with a European expat funeral plan.
We provide expat funeral plans in Spain, Portugal and Cyprus. In these countries, most funerals traditionally take place within 48 hours. This could put pressure on your loved ones to pay their respects and make all the arrangements in a very short timeframe.
Avalon’s funeral plans for expats provides your family with additional support from our English-speaking team to help your family navigate the funeral systems in Spain, Portugal and Cyprus which are different and could be more complicated than in the UK. Our team will help you make the funeral arrangements and the Plan lets you pay for the essential funeral costs in advance so your family won’t have the stress of having to find the money at short notice.

The Avalon Promise provides peace of mind for you and your family
If you choose to pay for your funeral plan in instalments, you could benefit from the Avalon Promise. Avalon will still provide all the services included in your plan if you pass away before your plan is fully paid if:
You die as a result of an accident at any time- When you die your plan has already been in place for 12 months for a UK plan or 18 months for one of our Europe plans
This means your loved ones won’t have to make up the difference for the cost of the services in the plan and can focus on celebrating your life, instead of worrying about finding the money to pay for your funeral.
You must keep up to date with your plan instalments or your plan may be cancelled, for full details of the Avalon Promise see UK plan Terms and Conditions and Europe plan Terms and Conditions.

Different funeral customs
Unlike the UK, it is routine in Spain, Portugal and Cyprus for the funeral service to proceed within 24-48 hours, meaning family in the UK may struggle to travel to Europe in time for the funeral.
Providing family with help and support
The death of a family member or a friend is a difficult time, but when you add in the extra complications of different languages and unfamiliar procedures when a loved ones dies abroad, will your family or next of kin cope with making numerous decisions for a funeral in a different country?
Available funds
Funeral bills generally have to be paid within a short time frame.
Get the funeral you want
You may have specific requirements for your funeral that you wish to be carried out, whether that be your preference for a cremation or burial or what songs or flowers you would like. Will your family be left wondering what you might have wanted?
Will your savings be enough?
Your savings may not be sufficient to cover funeral costs or the interest may not be keeping up with funeral inflation.
Language barriers
How well do your loved ones speak the language? Will they need the assistance of an English-speaking person to help with liaising with the funeral directors to make the funeral arrangements?
