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.
The Price of a Funeral
The Repatriation Burial Funeral Plan (Cyprus) is priced at €7450. When you purchase an Avalon funeral plan, you lock in this price with us. It’s important to note that we don’t typically expect you to use the plan immediately. However, if you do require a funeral right away, the cost of this plan is comparable to the current average price of a funeral if you were to
arrange it directly at the time of need.
At the time of sale, Avalon assigns your plan to a specific Funeral Director(s) and has negotiated a contractual price for the various costs involved in providing your funeral. These Funeral Director costs vary depending on factors like region and plan type, but for this particular type of plan, the approximate Funeral Director cost is €5,750* plus an annual adjustment to account for inflation, based on today’s prices.
Unlike the fixed plan price you pay, the “at need” price for a funeral today is likely to increase each year due to inflation until the time you actually require the funeral. The contracted costs to Avalon are adjusted for inflation annually to reflect the expected future changing prices in the industry.
