Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Watford.
Aura is a family-run company known for providing compassionate and affordable cremation services. We were founded by Paul Jameson in 2019, alongside his son, David (our CEO), and a family friend called Ben (our COO), after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Paul wanted to help others learn from his brush with his own mortality and experience with end-of-life planning. Aura has cultivated a trustworthy reputation, and a proud family-run ethos. With 4.9/5 stars on Trustpilot, making us the top-rated ‘cremation services’ provider in the UK, our approach seems to be paying off. We would welcome your call should you wish to place your trust in us for your loved one’s funeral.

A direct cremation is a straightforward and low-cost alternative to traditional funerals. In Watford, Aura’s direct cremation service involves bringing the person who has died to the crematorium in a private ambulance from our mortuary facilities, and performing the cremation. Within 21 days of this, for a nominal fee, we can return the ashes to you at home. Or, free of charge, we can scatter the ashes for you at the crematorium’s pleasant Garden of Remembrance. This allows families the flexibility to hold a memorial or celebration of life at a time that suits them.
Yes, Aura offers both attended and unattended direct cremation services. If you wish, your family can attend a small, private service at West Herts Crematorium in Watford. Alternatively, with our unattended service, the cremation takes place without family present, and the ashes are returned to you afterward.
Aura’s direct cremation services are designed to be cost-effective, offering families in Watford a low-cost option compared to traditional funerals. They are available from £1,895; we hope it’s welcome news to know that this is lower than half of the average cost of a traditional funeral in the UK (£4,141).
The process for a direct cremation in Watford is typically completed shortly after the paperwork is taken care of. Aura handles everything from collection to cremation with care and efficiency.
