Purchasing a prepaid funeral plan is about providing peace of mind for both you and your loved ones. With a trusted provider like Aura, you can arrange the meaningful farewell you desire and cover the costs at today's prices. This forward planning relieves your family of the financial burden and the stress of planning your funeral, as your final wishes will be clearly outlined in advance. Whether you opt to pay in one lump sum or through instalments, your investment is safeguarded in a separate trust. It will then be ready when your family need it, without extra costs and protecting them from potential inflation.
Worrying about end-of-life plans due to the costs that come with them is completely understandable. To help soothe your concerns, we're pleased to inform you that direct cremation plans with Aura start at just £1,695. This is significantly lower than the national average funeral cost of £4,141, as data in the SunLife in the 2024 Cost of Dying Report suggests. However, please note that actual costs can vary based on the type of funeral you choose. At Aura, we strive to provide an affordable option that honours your memory with dignity and respect. If you have any questions or need a quote for a direct cremation in Eastbourne, our compassionate team is ready to assist you. Feel free to contact us through our phone or online.
Aura's plans are very flexible. You are always allowed to make changes without any fuss or fees. In Eastbourne, or anywhere else in the country, if you change your mind and would like to cancel, there will be no penalties or punishing wait times. Our team is always available to assist you with any questions you may have. Please be aware that although changes do not bring about extra fees, they may increase the overall cost of your plan if you decide to enhance your direct creation with an attended service.
After you purchase your prepaid plan with Aura on the phone or online, you can then use our virtual planning resources to note your wishes and practical information for your family. Someone you trust should then be noted down as your representative. They'll get support now in the form of a guide, and they'll get plenty of help when the time comes to put your plan into action. After you pass, they won't be alone; our compassionate team will guide them through every step, from the legal paperwork to the final details of the funeral, ensuring everything aligns with your wishes. At Aura, it's important to us that your life is celebrated in a way that feels right to you. If traditional funeral ceremonies don't match the send-off you envision, our direct cremation options might be exactly what you're looking for.
