Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the questions we get asked most often and the answers to them.
What is a funeral plan?
A funeral plan lets you choose the type of funeral you want and pay for it in advance.
It fixes the cost of the funeral director services at today's prices and protects you and your loved ones from any potential rises in funeral costs in the future.
It helps protect your family from some of the stress and worry of arranging and paying for your funeral at a time which is will already be upsetting for your family.
Why should I choose Avalon?
Avalon has been established for over 25 years with over 100,000 customers all happy in the knowledge that their funeral is all planned and paid for.
Avalon was voted the “Best Funeral Plan Provider” 3 years running in the Personal Finance Awards and is rated excellent on Trustpilot with over 3,000 customer reviews.
We understand that every funeral is unique and our friendly team of funeral plan specialists will help you chose a plan that is right for you.
We provide funeral plans in the UK and also for expats in Spain, Portugal and Cyprus.
Will my money be held securely?
We recognise that your plan represents a significant financial outlay. So, to properly protect this expenditure, the money you pay into your plan is held in an established, independently managed Trust, until the time that it’s needed.
Avalon ensures that the Trust always has enough funds to provide the funerals of all our customers. But in the unlikely event that Avalon were to fail, the FSCS scheme guarantees to find an equivalent funeral plan replacement or financial compensation, which may be less than you paid in.
For more information see the UK plan terms and conditions or Expat plan terms and conditions.
