A prepaid funeral plan, like the one we offer at Aura, allows you to arrange and cover the costs of your funeral in advance. You can specify your desired service and pay for it upfront or through monthly instalments. This ensures that your final wishes are honoured and alleviates financial and organisational burdens from your family. Also, you are securing today's prices and shielding your loved ones from potential future hikes in funeral expenses. With a funeral plan, you provide both financial security and emotional reassurance for your family during the grieving process.
Funerals can be expensive, which is why a prepaid plan can be so useful to alleviate costs for the loved ones you leave behind. At Aura, we believe in a people-first approach that is affordable and respectful. Our funeral plans in Canterbury start at just £1,695; this costs much less than a traditional funeral in the UK, which, based on information in the 2024 SunLife Cost of Dying Report, is £4,141. Our price is inclusive of doctor fees and transportation to the crematorium, with no hidden costs. However, extras such as an attended service will incur an extra fee. If you want to discuss your options, we're here to help. Simply give us a call or request a quote on our website.
With Aura's prepaid funeral plans, flexibility is a big advantage. After purchase, changes are simple and hassle-free. Upgrading your plan to include additional services is easy to organise. You will only pay for what you need, no extra amendment fees will be added. You can also cancel anytime without extra costs. If you have any questions or need help with arranging changes, our dedicated team is here to help.
A direct cremation plan offers a simple way to handle your funeral arrangements in advance. At Aura, you can add an informal ceremony at a Canterbury-based crematorium for an extra cost if you would like that, or keep it simple with direct cremation. Whether you go for attended or unattended, your nominated representative (your chosen loved one who will handle your funeral affairs) will get plenty of support from the Aura team. Get in touch if you'd like to talk more about what personalisation arrangements we can offer.
