Avalon Europe

Avalon funeral plans, was founded in 1993. Now two decades on, the highly successful, independent company informs everybody who lives more than 4 weeks a year in Spain of how different the funeral system is. This allows our members to protect their finances and assets when the inevitable event occurs.
Funeral planning in Spain,
Many expatriates living in Europe have experienced problems incurred by a death overseas. A lack of communication and understanding of funerals can leave people of all financial standing bemused and bewildered at a time of great distress, especially if families are thousands of miles away.
• Costs: Funeral costs can be in excess of 4,800€ and they are rising at around 8% a year.
• Distress: Funerals can be completed and paid for within 24 hours, a very big change from your home country.
• Payment: I have heard that bank accounts are frozen at this time and that I have no control over the individual funeral director selected and his demand for immediate payment, as is the custom, upon my death in Spain.
• Language Difficulties: If you can’t speak the language you are potentially vulnerable. Will I get the service that I want and at the right price?

Addressing your concerns
Planning what happens when you die can seem daunting. But leaving your loved ones burdened with bills and responsibilities is the last thing you would wish for them.
Here are a number of typical concerns we’ve received from customers in the past – and how we can address them.

Distress
How will my family cope with the additional worries and stress, and make the standard 50 decisions concerning funeral arrangements?
By taking out a funeral plan with Avalon, all of these worries are taken care of right away. Your family will simply notify Avalon of your death and our team will begin the funeral arrangements.

Control
How can I be sure that I’ll get the funeral service I want?
We believe that you should be in control every step of the way. The funeral arrangements are put into place according to your specific requirements. When you die, it takes just one call to our 24-hour bereavement line and the funeral director is then legally responsible for making the arrangements for your chosen plan.

Health
The state of my health has prevented me from buying Life Insurance. Is there an alternative?
Unlike most insurance companies, we accept anyone as a member – regardless of how old you are or the state of your health.

Let us know your current country of residence and we’ll show you the plans available.
