Protect your family from the complications and costs of arranging a funeral in Spain
Avalon’s prepaid funeral plans are specially designed for English-speaking expats living in Spain or living between Spain and the UK – to pay for funeral costs in advance and provide help and support for their family at the time of death.
Why do I need an expat funeral plan?
The Spanish funeral system is different to the UK system in many ways, with funerals traditionally taking place within 48 hours of the death, giving your family a much shorter time to plan a funeral.
Language barriers and an unfamiliar Spanish funeral system may make a difficult time even more stressful for your loved ones. When the time comes, our English-speaking specialist team will take care of all the arrangements in your chosen plan, helping to save your loved ones time, stress and money at a difficult time.
Your plan moves with you, so if you spend time living in both the UK and Spain you can have a funeral in either country.
Choose from our range of funeral plans in Spain
We offer a range of funeral plans to suit you. Whether you’d prefer a funeral in Spain or a repatriation back to mainland Great Britain we can help you find the right option to suit your needs and budget. Find out more about what each plan includes and doesn’t include on the plan pages.
* You can pay for your plan in full or over 18 months with no additional costs, or you can choose to spread the cost from 2 to 10 years (or 5 years for repatriation plans) where an instalment charge will be added based on the term you select (age restrictions apply); to see an example of this click the Read More button.
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.
Why do I need a funeral plan if I live in Spain?
Potential for funeral costs to rise, language barriers and an unfamiliar Spanish funeral system can make it difficult for your loved ones to make funeral arrangements.
Traditionally, most Spanish funerals take place within 48 hours and are paid for in advance, meaning it may be difficult for friends and family still in the UK to attend. Any delay may incur more costs.
Avalon’s funeral plans for expats in Spain let you pay for your funeral in advance and protect your loved ones against unexpected costs and complications. To find the plan that’s right for you and your family, call our team today on:

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need two funeral plans if I spend time living in the UK and Spain?
No, you only need one funeral plan. If you spend time living in the UK and Spain you can choose Dual Certification, this can provide a funeral in either country depending on where you die. Dual certification does not include repatriation. See the terms and conditions for more information.
Has Brexit affected my funeral plan?
No. Whether you are a new or existing Avalon customer, you are still covered in both countries.
If you do decide to move back to the UK permanently, you can convert your expat plan into a UK plan free of charge (terms and conditions apply).
How can I pay for my funeral plan?
You can choose to pay for your funeral plan either in full or in monthly payments over several years.
For further flexibility, you can increase your payments or pay off the outstanding balance at any point. Our payment options are designed to suit you and your needs, but the sooner you can pay off your plan, the cheaper it will be.
You can also choose whether you would like to pay for your funeral plan in Pounds or Euros.
Can I choose a burial or a cremation funeral plan?
Yes. Our plans offer a range of options whether you wish to be buried or cremated in this country, or for your body to be repatriated to mainland Great Britain. Please note plans do not include burial plots.
