A Direct Cremation provides a different way for people to express themselves than a traditional funeral. If your loved one would have been uncomfortable with flower displays and a funeral procession, this type of ceremony lets you do away with all that, instead giving you the chance to reflect their personality in the way things unfold. Normally the ceremony is unattended, but if you think it would be best, we can easily arrange for the service to be attended by guests. We can organise everything for you with ease in Derby, from the escorting of your loved one to the crematorium, to the ceremony itself, followed by the hand-delivery of their ashes to you at home. If you prefer, we could scatter them at the crematorium's garden of remembrance -- whatever you think would be best. The service is a concise and respectful way of honouring your loved one exactly as they would have wanted, giving you the chance to do right by them.
This type of service can usually be provided for a lower price than other kinds, which we hope brings a little bit of reassurance at this difficult time. We'd be very pleased to discuss your wishes over the phone, and to give you a direct quote. We hope that it brings some comfort to know that an Aura funeral could cost less than half of the average cost of a British funeral. We could provide this type of ceremony in Derby from £1,095.
As many of the traditional formalities are not included in this type of ceremony, there is plenty of room let your loved one's individuality shine through. We would be honoured to help you plan that, and there are a number of ways that we can help: Many people, for example, want to make sure that the celebrant who will oversee the ceremony has some personalised words about their loved one as the ceremony begins. Others like have a final viewing of their loved one before things begin in the chapel of rest. If there is anything that we can do to help you make this day as special and memorable as possible, you have only to call us. We'd be glad to receive your call.
Something we see every day is the fact that each funeral is special and unique in its own way, which can impact the time it takes to arrange things. After we have had a chance to discuss things together over the phone, we will be much better placed to share some specifics with you about how long things are likely to take. We could organise one of our more tailored services in Derby within a two-week period, but things will take longer for other options. If you ever need a specific update from us about our progress, you are always more than welcome to call whenever you need. We can also promise to keep you regularly informed for our part.
We would like you to know that we are here to listen to you, as much or as little as you need. Many people experience worries and anxiety about having to plan an unexpected funeral. Please don't worry about this -- we will not leave you without our support to plan things alone, if that is not what you want. Our kind team of Angels is ready and waiting for your call. They will hear you and give you the space you need to let us know how we can help, whenever you need, regardless of whether you are in Derby or anywhere else. Our job is to do the logistical legwork for you, so that you are free to focus on being with your friends and family.
