Safe Funeral Pln
Our Avalon Consultant (Magdalena) fully described our Funeral Plan options and what each plan covered. No sales pressure just the plans, costs and importantly our long term protections. Great to know we have a policy that is available in Spain and the UK.
We felt comfortable with our existing knowledge and Magdelena’s presentation to purchase an Avalon plan.
If you are looking at options for funeral planning I think you will not go wrong with Avalon.

I had a very successful meeting with Jay Patel one of Avalons Consultants who came and saw me this morning at my home. He was very knowledgeable about the company and products that they had to offer. I found his approach to be a breath of fresh air, no hard sell, just a relaxed and confident manner, making ne feel at ease straight away. took out a plan without hesitation. I would strongly recommend Jay to all my family and friends. 5 Stars all the way. If I still ran my company Jay would be my Sales Director for sure. Just The Best!!
No worries and all so easy
I first met Andy Durrant from Avalon in 2019 when he came to explain the company's services. My wife, Lisa, and I were both impressed by what he told us and his friendly and reassuring demeanour.
He returned in 2022, at my request, and we agreed a Plan to cover the funeral of the first to die.
In the event, my beloved Lisa died on 15th August 2025. Having called 112 to notify the authorities, one call to Avalon produced a funeral director whose respectful team removed her body for cremation. Sad, but no worries and all so easy,
Today, 29th August, Andy returned once more at my invitation. We set up a Plan to cover my eventual funeral to save my relatives the need to organise or pay for the event. Invaluable.
