A funeral plan protects you and your family
When you buy a prepaid funeral plan, you’re choosing to fix key funeral costs at today’s prices and make arrangements in advance.
That means that when the time comes, your loved ones don’t have to worry about covering the full cost of your funeral. They’ll know that you’re getting the funeral you wanted.
Speak To An Expert
We offer complete flexibility around you and can meet either face-to-face or online via a video consultation. And with us all being qualified in our specialist areas and having access to a wide range of lenders, we are able to help you no matter which part of the mortgage journey you are at.
What is a funeral plan?
If you’ve never really thought about a funeral plan before, it’s worth taking a few minutes to find out exactly what they are and why so many people choose to have one.
A prepaid funeral plan is the easy way to arrange and pay for the essential elements of your funeral in advance, knowing that all the details are already taken care of.
By choosing a prepaid funeral plan, you can select all of your key funeral arrangements, such as the number of limousines or the type and style of coffin, ensuring your final wishes are carried out seamlessly to minimise stress to your loved ones.
You can compare Avalon’s most popular UK funeral plans or create your own personalised plan.
Plans can be purchased for up-front or paid in monthly instalments, offering competitively priced and flexible solutions for your budget.
Then, when the time comes, we will inform your Funeral Director, who will make the arrangements, and we pay the fees.
Prepaid funeral plans can also be bought for others. Many of our plans are purchased for spouses or parents for peace of mind and to ensure the policy holder can plan their own funeral arrangements.
With a prepaid funeral plan in place, your loved ones can celebrate your life without the worry of rising funeral costs or the added pressure of making difficult decisions about funeral arrangements.

How does a funeral plan work?
A prepaid funeral plan is the easy way to arrange and pay for the essential elements of your funeral in advance.
When you buy an Avalon plan, you are paying for key funeral costs in advance. This lets you fix the cost of Funeral Director fees at today’s prices. You can select all of your key funeral arrangements, such as the number of limousines or the type and style of coffin, giving you a say in how you’re laid to rest.
Your money is placed in an independently-managed Trust. When the time comes, Avalon will pay the nominated Funeral Director to arrange your funeral. Just one call to our 24/7 bereavement line and your loved ones can rest assured that arrangements will be taken care of.
You can also buy a prepaid funeral plan for someone else, such as a parent, partner or sibling.
