Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Cardiff.
Aura is a family-run provider of direct cremation services with a uniquely people-focused approach to care. Our low-cost services offer families the chance to organise a funeral for a loved one at a price that works for them, without any fuss or any compromise on quality. The families we’ve already cared for have helped us to become the top-rated direct cremation services provider on Trustpilot, with a score of 4.9/5 stars.
When you put your trust in Aura to deliver on your loved one’s direct cremation service, you will be gently guided every step of the day by our industry-leading Angel Team. This talented and compassionate group of experienced funeral arrangers are behind Aura’s success, and embody our ethos of dignified, people-centred care. They’ll put their arm around your shoulder and bring you through the difficulty of organising a loved one’s funeral, making sure they get the send off they deserve, and that you get the support you need.
With a history spanning over 6000 years, Cardiff – the capital city of Wales – is an ancient and important place in the United Kingdom. It plays host to the mediaeval grandeur of Cardiff Castle, as well as one of the world’s finest performing arts schools: the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Cardiff is also home to Aura; we proudly offer our direct cremation services to families in Cardiff and beyond, including in Taff’s Well, Pentyrch, Llanharan and Beddau.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Wales, including Aberystwyth, Bangor, Barry, Caerphilly, Flitwick, Flitwick, Llanelli, Newport, South Wales, Swansea, and Wrexham.
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 simple direct cremation by Aura in Cardiff works like this: your loved one, inside their coffin, will be laid upon the catafalque inside the crematorium chapel, after their arrival there in a private ambulance. As they are carried into the chapel and placed inside, a song that was dear to them in life can play. A respectful crematorium official will then offer a few words in their honour. Shortly after this they will be cremated.
Aura is proud of the fact that its direct cremation services are a low-cost alternative to what else is out there. In fact, according to SunLife, the average cost of a funeral last year in the UK was £4,141, which means that our starting price of £1,095 is less than half of that figure. We hope this makes the burden a little lighter for families already dealing with the difficulty of grieving a loved one.
With Aura (unlike many other options) you are perfectly able to attend the direct cremation ceremony of a loved one in Cardiff if you so wish. Our attended options start at £1,895, and can last between 15 and 45 minutes. Families will have the chance to work with either a religious minister or a non-religious celebrant (whom we can assist them in finding), who will design and lead a ceremony around the life of the person who has died.
When it falls to us to organise the funeral of a loved one, we quickly learn how much paperwork is involved. With a cremation, certain documentation needs to be in order before it can legally go ahead. We want to firmly reassure you that our committed Angel Team is there to make sure that all of the admin will be taken care of, and they will support you as much or as little as you need to get everything together.
We wouldn’t like to give you a concrete estimate at the outset, purely because each funeral is different and it’s not possible to be exact ahead of time. You can be sure that our team will always keep you in the know every step of the way.
