How to turn a bad experience into a good experience

After a shaky start from an unprofessional sales person the company responded in a very professional and positive manner which shows that even when a mistake happens they were quick to resolve and our dealing thereafter with Gavin Paskin and others were extremely positive and professional.

Clear straightforward and honest

A representative from Avalon came to my home to explain everything about the company’s funeral plans I could have. Mike Thornton was very clear, professional and did indeed explain the different plans on offer to suit my requirements. I am extremely happy with this company.

Thank you

It was a very efficient and easy process.
From initially meeting Anita to our appointment with Alan Richardson.
It made a topic that I struggle with easier to accept.
Well done and thank you.

A plan valid in both Spain and the UK

It was time to face our mortality. We arranged a visit from Avalon and their representative, Gavin Paskin came to our home. He took the time to explain throughly all our options, costs and also the process when the inevitable happens. As we live in Spain under the 90 day rule it was sensible to have a plan that is valid in both Spain and the UK. We signed up at that visit happy with the plan, costs and Avalon.

I can't praise the service high enough

I can't praise the service high enough, it has been excellent. My husband and I took out policies 4years ago and unfortunately I had to use his back in April. The organisation of everything was excellent and it took away some of the pressure at such a difficult time.
Since then I have reviewed my policy ans changed in view of what we really wanted when my husband died. The staff have been absolutely amazing. Thank you.

Mike Thornton

Mike Thornton, very professional, knew his business well and made us feel at ease. No pressure selling, just gave us all the information and left us to think it over. Chose Avalon because my father took out a similar policy in the 90’s, when he passed on 2016, we contacted Avalon expecting issues due age of policy but everything was simple and as promised 20 years earlier. Superb customer service.

Excellent service and peace of mind

I recently met with Jay Patel from Avalon Funeral Plans, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From the very first time I contacted Avalon, they have always replied swiftly and professionally, which already gave me confidence in their service.

Jay clearly explained how Avalon funeral plans work and helped me choose the plan that best fits my needs and wishes. He answered all my questions with patience and professionalism, and he managed all of the arrangements seamlessly.

Knowing that everything is now organised gives me real peace of mind. My family won’t have to face difficult decisions when the time comes, and I won’t be paying for years and years like I would with a typical Spanish death insurance policy.

I definitely recommend Avalon. With over 30 years of experience and their policy of keeping your money securely protected, I don't have to worry about my investment not being safe and that the company won’t simply disappear. Highly reassuring and truly excellent service.

Kind and knowledgeable

Mike Thornton was exceptionally helpful and well-organised. Everything was explained clearly and he gave us plenty of time to talk through options. We are confident that we have made the right choice and it gives us enormous peace of mind that Avalon will be there when we need them. Being covered in the UK and Spain is a huge bonus with Avalon as still have family ties in the UK even though we are Spanish residents. Thanks Mike!
