Our compassionate Aura Angels are here to support you every step of the way.
Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Manchester.
Represented by its residents as the city of the bee, Manchester is perhaps most notable for its industrial architecture and musical culture. But it is also the home to the UK's top-rated prepaid direct cremation plan provider.
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 Howe Bridge Crematorium.
Aura offers its prepaid direct cremation plan services across all of Manchester, including Atherton, Stockport, Oldham, Prestwich, Eccles, Sale, Altrincham, Macclesfield, Prestbury and the surrounding areas.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Greater Manchester.
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.

A Direct Cremation is perfect for those who don't want to make a fuss, as it provides perhaps the most concise funeral option. That's because it forgoes many of the formal elements of a traditional funeral, such as a hearse or flowers, so if your loved one would not have been comfortable with that sort of thing, it might work for them. The key difference between it and other types of funeral is that, normally, it happens without any guests, but, if you would like to attend, we can arrange this. It has all of the dignity of a traditional funeral, and if you would like to have one in Manchester for your loved one, we can take care of it for you. We would bring them to the crematorium for the ceremony, and then, afterwards, their ashes would be personally returned to you, or scattered at the garden of remembrance there, depending on what you think would be best.
As soon as we can discuss things with you and find out exactly what you need, we can give you a quote that will tell you the price. We know that suddenly needing to arrange a funeral is stressful, even at the best of times. We hope it makes things just a little easier to know that Aura could provide a funeral at less than half of the cost of the average funeral in the UK. As a guideline figure, we could arrange this kind of service for you in Manchester from £1,095. But do give us a call, and we can have a proper chat about you need.
Our mission at Aura is to deliver a funeral that does your loved one justice, and that is because we understand that no two funerals are alike. Guided by our team, you can add meaningful gestures to your service, such as choosing the music to which your loved one enters the crematorium, or specifying the words spoken by the chaplain about them before things begin. If there is anything at all that you think could make things more memorable on the day, please don't hesitate to let us know, and we will do our best to make it a reality.
We want to make sure that we don't set any false expectations about this, which is why we can't really provide a definitive answer here at the outset. We will always work as efficiently as possible, and be as open in communication with you as you need. As a guide, if you decide on one of our bespoke funeral options, the process could be arranged within 14 days, but other funerals can take longer to organise and many factors will influence the completion time. Just remember that we are only a phone call away if you require an update.
We at Aura understand that if you suddenly need to organise a funeral, then it can provoke a lot of feelings of anxiety and worry, especially if you have never had to do it before. We want you to know that we will be there for you: our reassuring team of Angels is on hand to relieve the stress of planning and organising from your shoulders, whenever you need, whether you are in Manchester or anywhere else. If you decide that Aura is right for you and your loved one, we will do our best to free you from the hassle of admin, and help you focus on more important matters.
