Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Guildford.
The bustling town of Guildford is full of history and heritage, dating all the way back to the Saxon times. What's more, Guildford is also the birthplace of Aura - the UK's top-rated direct cremation service provider.
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 Guildford, with an optional service at Guildford Crematorium.
Aura's family-run plans are available to support families across Guildford and beyond, including Bramley, Godalming, Aldershot, Farnborough, Chobham, and Worplesdon.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Surrey, including Croydon and Woking.
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.

We find that a Direct Cremation suits those who would not have wanted to make a fuss. It is a concise form of funeral that is growing in popularity in the UK, and, although we can easily organise for you and your friends and family to be there, it is usually unattended. If your loved one would have been uneasy with formalities like floral tributes and a hearse, you don't need to have any of these in the ceremony, and normally they are not included. If you think this kind of ceremony would do right by your loved one, we can organise one smoothly for you in Guildford: We would bring your loved one to the crematorium for the ceremony, and then, afterwards, we can either scatter their ashes on your behalf at the crematorium's garden of solace, or we can personally hand-deliver them to you at home -- whatever you think would be right. It's a brief, respectful ceremony with all of the dignity of tradition, but none of the fuss.
As soon as we have had the chance to talk with you directly over the phone about what you would like to organise, we will be glad to provide you with a direct quote. Until then, just because each funeral is different from every other, it is a little difficult for us to do that in the meantime. It might help you to know that this kind of funeral tends to cost a lot less than other kinds, and an Aura funeral could cost less than half of the average cost of a British funeral. We could provide this funeral for you in Guildford from £1,095, to give you a rough idea.
We know how important it can be to recognise the individuality of your loved one at their funeral ceremony, and we have various different ways in which we can help with that. Many people, for instance, like to make sure that they can have a final viewing of their loved one at the chapel of rest, before the ceremony takes place. Others find it important that their loved one's coffin should reflect something of who they were, whether in design, theme, material, colour, or the images that can adorn it. Whatever you may be thinking, we would be honoured to help you put your ideas into practice, and to give your loved one a send off that they would be proud of.
Much like the question of price, it wouldn't be right for us to give you a concrete time without having spoken to you first, as every funeral is different. As a rough idea, we could arrange one of our more tailored funerals in Guildford within two weeks, but other kinds could take longer to sort out. We will always work as hard as we can to deliver things promptly without letting the quality of our service suffer, and we will always update you regularly throughout the process.
The first thing we'd like to say to you is not to worry. Anxiety about coping with the pressures of arranging a funeral, especially one that was unexpected, or if you are organising one for the first time in your life, is something we see very regularly. But our friendly and professional team of Angels are experts in funeral planning and they are on hand to listen to you. They pride themselves on delivering exactly the kind of service that you require, and on removing the administrative stress from you shoulders. We want you to have the peace of mind you need in order to be in the moment with your friends and family at this difficult time.
