Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Canterbury.
The ancient walls of Canterbury are teeming with history, from the stunning architecture of Canterbury Cathedral to the many museums of art and heritage. But aside from the past, you will also find Aura - who are here to help you plan for the future with their top-rated direct cremation services. Aura is a family-run company that provides the UK’s top-rated direct cremation services, whether they’re needed now or in the future. With our cremations, there are no hearses or pallbearers; instead we offer a simple, affordable direct cremation with an optional low-cost service at Barham Crematorium.
We support families across all of Canterbury and the surrounding areas, from Chilham, Denstroude, Calcott, Bramling, Marley, Petham and beyond.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Kent, including Folkestone, Gravesend, Rochester and Sittingbourne.
As a family-run company, it's exactly what we'd want for members of our own family. We deliver on the promises we make to our customers, whether it's in the service that we provide to you or the practices in which we care for your loved one behind the scenes. You can read more about our processes. Don't just take our word for it, see how we compare to the others.

The best way to think of Direct Cremation is that it gives us a different option if we don't want a religious or more traditional type of service. If someone close to you has passed away in Canterbury, this would allow them to be collected and cremated with minimal trouble, gracefully and concisely. The ashes can then be returned to you, or scattered at the crematorium garden of remembrance; we don't need to include pallbearers or hearses or anything like that if that's not what they would have wanted.
There are a range of prices available that are guided by what you would like to do, but many find it comforting to know that this type of service is generally much cheaper than other types of funeral. Aura could arrange one out for you in Canterbury from £1,095, if you think it would be appropriate for your loved one. If you are interested in a quote, you can always call us, and we will talk you through your options.
Choosing this kind of ceremony will give you plenty of opportunity to add aspects of your loved one's life and character into proceedings. In place of the formality of a traditional or religious service, you could provide your own personal words to the chaplain to speak about your loved one on your behalf, and you could even arrange for a final viewing of them at the chapel of rest. Whatever you would prefer to do, we are here to help you make it a reality.
At Aura, we have a few different options that we can offer, so the answer to this question may be guided by what you think is best. For instance, by choosing a more customised service in Canterbury, everything could be taken care of in as little as two weeks. But for other options, the length of time may change. We will always aim for the quickest possible service, and make sure to update you as and when we know what is happening at every stage, so that you are never left in the dark.
At Aura, whether you need us in Canterbury or anywhere else in Britain, we want to make sure that you don't need to shoulder this difficulty alone. The Aura Angels are waiting to answer the phone whenever you are ready to call us. They will be there every step of the way to take the pressure of organising off of you, allowing you to focus on everything else.
