Direct cremation is a simple, unattended cremation service without a formal funeral ceremony. We will bring the person who has died to the crematorium in a private ambulance and then lay them on the catafalque. You can select a song that was dear to them in life to play at this point if you would like. A crematorium attendant will speak some words in their honour and then the cremation will proceed as soon as possible after that.
Aura’s direct cremation services are available from £1,095 making it a cost-effective option for families in Bedford. This price is lower than half of the average cost of a funeral in the UK last year, which was £4,141, according to information from SunLife.
Yes, while direct cremation is a simple, unattended service, you can still choose to hold a separate memorial or gathering at a later time for the one you’ve lost. Aura can also assist with arranging a service at a local crematorium for you and your family to attend, if you wish to add a personal touch to the cremation process. We can also help you to find a celebrant or religious minister to design and officiate the service.
Each of us likes to handle organising the funeral of someone we were close to in different ways: Some like to take full control of the arrangement process, while others find it much more difficult. There are certain pieces of paperwork that need to be taken care of before a funeral can proceed, but Aura’s Angel team will guide you through this process with as much or as little support as you need, ensuring that everything is taken care of smoothly and respectfully.

Our direct cremation services in Bedford offer a dignified, simple alternative to traditional funerals, sparing you and your family from unnecessary hassle and expense.
