Andy visited us at our home in Almeria in lSpain, and explained how the plan works for us both in Spain and the UK.
After answering questions he left us to choose what we wanted with absolutely no pressure to commit.
We had researched before he came and had decided on the basic plan, but on reflection and with his helpful answers to our questions we decided on the next level up because it is what will work best for our family.
Highly recommended as a company as they are totally up front and transparent as to what they offer.

Very easy to deal with
Very easy to deal with from first contact.
The different options were well described in terms of their respective features and benefits. There was no hard sell.
Clarity and Confidence
I felt everything was clearly communicated, l was able to ask questions and received clarity on my raised points. I had no hesitation in taking the plan at that point.
Mike - A genuine hero!!
I was called by Mike Stokes the day after my mum passed away and I was in pieces and all over the place. Mike has an unbelievably calming voice and went through the whole process in a way that made it very easy to understand. The whole process is very overwhelming but I am so glad that it was Mike that called me. Thank you Mike on behalf of my family for what was a very tough time for us all

I had a very satisfying experience with this company. The members of staff I spoke with were very informative of their product, with particular emphasis on the most satisfactory service received from my Consultant "Gavin Paskin." His knowledge and clarity in explaining all options available, whilst answering all my questions with compassion, allowed me to make a confident decision.
Great funeral plan
The meeting with Mike Thornton at our home was very clear and informative. The different plans available were explained in a relaxed manner with no pressure to sign up. Payment options are perfect and the Life locker is a great idea.
After a few days we had a phone conversation with Mike where our questions were answered clearly, after which we were happy to sign up to our preferred plan.
Customer services were very helpful and payment was very straightforward.
Thank you Avalon and especially a big thank you to Mike.

Mum told me Avalon would call one day
My mum died unexpectedly, her neighbour was assisted by police to find her peacefully in her bed. Avalon was in touch within 4 hours and has been exceptionally helpful and supportive throughout the last 2 weeks. The celebrant Sonia and all staff at the Tanatorio were fantastic, the service and preparations beforehand went very smoothly. Our request to accommodate 5 songs was met and the photos we gave were prepared into a wonderful montage of our mum. Thank you, I couldn't recommend Avalon enough. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🕯🕊
Excellent service!
As my husband already has a plan with Avalon, I decided to use them too. The agent I spoke with was very helpful and explained everything in a calm, quiet manner. He thoroughly went through all I needed to know and answered all questions I had. I was impressed with the service I received, thank you.
Very helpful & professional advice .
Very helpful & professional advice with

Excellent customer service
I found the agent, Ashley Williams, very helpful to deal with. He was reassuring and able to give me all the information I needed. He helped to normalise a potentially stressful process.
Avalon has been very efficient in providing follow-up information and paperwork.
Andy was very help full answered all our question and gave us really good advice
Andy was very help full answered all our question, came at a convenient time that suited us. Avalon gave us the package we needed at a price that was affordable.
Piece of mind
The agent who came to explain about Avalons funeral plans, was, knowledgeable, polite, and his diction was clear and to the point, we both enjoyed the presentation. We have committed to a plan with no regrets and it has removed a small weight from our shoulders. Gavin Paskin, is the agents name and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks Gavin
Great advice
Of course — here’s a slightly adjusted version that works well for Trustpilot and feels a bit more customer-review focused:
Gavin visited me just before Christmas and took the time to clearly explain the different policy options available. He was very professional, friendly, and never pressured me into choosing something that didn’t feel right for my situation.
As I live in Spain, it was important to me that all the paperwork would be handled smoothly, and with most of my family and friends living in other countries, I wanted reassurance that everything could be managed quickly if needed. Gavin explained this clearly and gave me real peace of mind.
I would happily recommend both Avalon and Gavin to others.
Simple no hard sell experience…
Made an enquiry via facebook following an advert and previous recommendation from friends who had already taken out plans with Avalon. Received a call back within 48 hours from a very pleasant lady who subsequently booked a visit for a few days later. Gavin Paskin arrived for the appointment in good time and spent time running through the options and appropriate costs, he was extremely pleasant and explained everything in a clear and precise manner, no hard sell left us with the relevant information for us to look over. We made another appointment for Gavin to return to complete the required paperwork. The following day we received by email a copy of the full paperwork, whilst we await the originals. With of course the added bonus of being backed by the FCA in the UK and covering us both for Spain & England at no additional fee. So far so good.
