Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Eastbourne.
Europe's largest man-made marina, Sovereign Harbour, is nestled within Eastbourne. But alongside its coastal quirks, Eastbourne is also home to the UK's top-rated direct cremation service provider - Aura. Aura is a family-run company that provides the UK’s top-rated direct cremation services, whether they’re needed now or in the future. With our cremations, there are no hearses or pallbearers; instead we offer a simple, affordable direct cremation to families throughout Eastbourne.
Aura's family-run plans are available to families within Eastbourne and the surrounding suburbs, such as Stone Cross, Bexhill, Hastings, Hailsham, Polegate, Seaford, New Haven and beyond.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of East Sussex, including Beaconsfield, Brighton, Hastings, Hove and St Neots.
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.

We have found that a Direct Cremation tends to suit those who would not have wanted to cause any hassle for anyone else, as the ceremony is usually a lot more stripped back than a traditional funeral. If your loved one also wouldn't have wanted typical formalities like a funeral procession or a hearse, then this ceremony could also be right for them. Aura can easily arrange this kind of funeral for you in Eastbourne: we would collect your loved one from where they are resting and bring them to the crematorium for the ceremony; then, afterwards, we can bring back their ashes to you personally at home, or scatter them on your behalf at the crematorium's own solace garden. It provides a thoughtful and brief way of bidding farewell your loved one, just as they would have wanted.
Just as soon as we have had the opportunity to talk to you over the phone about what you're looking for, we will be able to give you a direct quote. Until then, because each funeral is as special and different as the person they commemorate, all we can say is that, because of that, they are likely to have different prices too. Hopefully it brings just a little bit of comfort to learn that, on average a British funeral could cost more than double what Aura charges, and we could arrange this kind of funeral for you in Eastbourne from £1,095.
It's our mission to make sure that each person is commemorated in a way that honours who they were in life, and this kind of ceremony has the versatility to reflect their personality at various points throughout. For example, many people find it important to give the celebrant who will oversee the ceremony some personal words written about their loved one, which can be spoken as the ceremony begins. Others want to make sure that they can attend the ceremony in person with their friends and family, which we can easily arrange. We'd welcome your call if you have your own ideas, and we would be very glad to help you put them into practice.
Much like the question of cost, because each funeral is different, it means that the time taken to deliver things can also vary depending on what you are looking for. We can promise now that we will always work as hard as we can without cutting corners on the quality of our service, and we also keep you in the know at every stage, too. As a rough idea at the outset, we could sort a more specialised funeral out for you in Eastbourne in as little as 14 days, but other types of funeral will take longer. If you would like to give us a call, we can talk together about what you've got in mind, and give you some more specific information about timescales from a more informed position.
Please don't worry about this -- helping people to deal with the different kinds of difficulties that can arise when planning a funeral is exactly what we are here for. We have a specially trained team of Angels on hand to answer your call; they will listen to you and ask you all of the right questions to make sure that everything is taken care of exactly how your loved one would have wanted. Our goal is to make sure you are free to focus on more important matters, rather than being distracted by admin.
