Peace of mind with a pre-paid funeral plan in Portugal

Help your family through the complicated funeral system in Portugal with a prepaid funeral plan

If you live in Portugal, Avalon's choice of pre-paid funeral plans are specially designed for UK expats 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 Portuguese funeral system is different to the UK system in many ways, with funerals traditionally taking place within 48 hours of the death. This may make it difficult for loved ones to make arrangements and for family in the UK to attend the funeral.

The language barrier can also make a difficult time more stressful for your family.

When the time comes, Avalon’s team of English-speaking specialists will help your family take care of all the arrangements in your chosen plan, potentially saving them time, stress and money at a difficult time.

Your plan moves with you, so if you spend time living between both countries, you can have a funeral in the UK or Portugal.
