If you are considering a prepaid funeral plan, there are some considerations to help you decide if it's the right option for you. By sorting out the financial part of your funeral in advance you will pay current prices for the service. This can protect your family from inflation or possible price increases that may occur in the future. You also help alleviate any financial stress for those you leave behind, ensuring they do not have to worry about these costs during a difficult time. Funerals are more than their costs though. By arranging your funeral wishes now with a plan, you also can help your family in a time of grief by alleviating any difficult decisions. In the end, a prepaid funeral plan gives everyone that comfort and reassurance that everything is sorted and you don't need to think about it again. Also, with Aura, you can pay in instalments, making each aspect of the funeral plan process as smooth as possible.
The price of your funeral plan will vary based on the type of service you want to go for. For example, information in the SunLife Cost of Dying Report places the average national cost of a funeral at around £4,141. However, Aura offers a prepaid plan starting at £1,695 for a direct cremation in Ayr. This price covers all essential cremation expenses, from the collection of the body to the hand delivery of the ashes. Should you have any further inquiries about our pricing or other services, our team is readily available to assist you over the phone.
It is absolutely possible to make changes. Aura's prepaid funeral plans come with flexibility built in because we know your preferences might shift over time. You can make changes to your plan easily and at no extra cost, even if you decide to cancel. However, adding an attended service at a crematorium in Ayr may incur a cost if that wasn't part of your original plan. If you need further help or more details, you're welcome to give us a call.
For those looking for a straightforward and respectful farewell without the cost and fuss that comes with a formal funeral, Aura can help. Once you've found the plan that works for you and made your purchase, your wishes will be recorded for when the time comes. A designated representative, chosen by you, will coordinate with the Aura team in the future. For now, they will receive a helpful guide to help them prepare. Your representative will contact us once you have passed and have plenty of support in terms of handling the required paperwork or organising a service if have this in your plan. By sorting out a prepaid plan now, you can relax knowing everything is sorted.

This same mission of compassion and simplicity is what fuels the whole team today including Paul's son Dave and family friend Ben. On top of that, we are highly rated. We take great pride in having two funeral plan options that have earned five-star ratings from the independent experts at Fairer Finance as well as our 4.9 star rating from customers on Trustpilot.
