If your loved one would not have wanted a typical funeral with a hearse and a procession, then a Direct Cremation may be the right option for them. It is a type of funeral ceremony that is becoming more popular in the UK, because it gives us the opportunity to let our personalities shine through, which can make a difficult time more bearable. It is usually a brief and unattended ceremony, although we understand that it can be important to witness this moment, so we can easily arrange for attendance, if you would like. We can handle the details in Ayr, including the escorting of your loved one to the crematorium, as well as the return of their ashes to you, depending on what you would prefer. This options gives a concise but memorable and dignified goodbye.
A sudden and unexpected funeral can lead to extra cost and financial strain, even at the best of times. If you are worried about paying for the cost of a funeral, we would be pleased to hear from you over the phone; we can take you step-by-step through your options, and give you a quote that works for you. An Aura funeral could cost less than half of the average price of a UK funeral, and we can provide this kind of service in Ayr from as little as £1,095.
We would be honoured to help you express your ideas, and bring your loved one's personality front and centre of the ceremony. We can recommend a few different ideas to get started: some people, for instance, like to make sure that they can attend the ceremony with friends and family, which we can easily arrange. Others like to provide the celebrant with some personalised words about their loved one which can be read as the ceremony starts. We would be glad to receive your call where we can discuss the details, and help you to make this as memorable as possible.
We will be much better placed to answer this question properly for you once we've had a chance to chat together and assess your needs. It's important to bear in mind that each funeral is different, and may have different delivery times. In the meantime, to give you a guideline, we could arrange one of our more personalised funerals in Ayr within fourteen days, but some of our other funerals may require more planning time. We will always do our very best to keep you regularly updated, but if you ever feel that you need a specific update at any point, you are more than welcome to call us.
Concerns about being able to deal with the planning aspect of a sudden funeral are common, and we see it all the time. Please don't worry -- we will not leave you to resolve everything on your own. We have a supportive team of Angels on hand to listen to you, and to take the pressure of organising things off your shoulders. They are experienced, know the right questions to ask, and will be there for you as much or as little as you need. We want you to be able to forget about the administrative stuff, if that's what you need, leaving you free to focus on friends and family.
