Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Harlow.
A stone's throw away from the vibrant capital city yet amongst the countryside views around Essex is Harlow, home to over 100 public sculptures and Aura - the UK's leading prepaid direct cremation plan 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 with an optional low-cost service at Parndon Wood Crematorium.
Serving families within Harlow and beyond, including Epping, Roydon, Nazeing, Moreton, High Laver, Wright's Green, Hoddesdon, Broxbourne, Cheshunt and the surround areas, Aura's prepaid direct cremation services are available to all.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Chelmsford, Colchester, Ilford, Woodley and Woodley.
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.

Direct Cremation refers to a brief funeral ceremony that is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. The main ideas behind it are that it allows people to avoid formalities like funeral processions and hearses if they wouldn't have felt happy with that, and it also allows them to have more of a say in how the funeral will proceed, by customising parts of the ceremony. Aura can easily arrange one in Harlow for you: we would collect your loved one, bring them to the crematorium, and then, after their cremation ceremony, either hand-deliver their ashes to you, or we can scatter them for you at the crematorium's idyllic peace garden. It's a concise way to commemorate a loved one with dignity, and it can be attended or unattended, as they would have wanted.
We understand that it can add worry and stress when you suddenly find yourself needing to pay for a funeral that you weren't expecting. Some positive news is that this type of ceremony in Harlow will typically cost a lower amount than other kinds of funeral, because it is often a more concise arrangement. Aura's funerals could end up costing less than half of the average UK funeral cost, and we are able to provide this kind of farewell from £1,095. If you are ready to give us a call and have a chat with us about what you've got in mind, we would be very pleased to give you a direct quote so that you will know exactly how much you might need to pay.
We want to make sure that you have the chance to commemorate your loved one in as special a way as possible, and we have various ways in which you can add your own personal touches into proceedings. If you know that you would like to personalise things, but are not sure how, we'd be glad to make some suggestions: some people like to have the celebrant at the crematorium read a few final, personalised words about their loved one. Others may request that music dear to them is played as they are brought into the crematorium. These are just a few ideas, but if there is anything at all that you would like us to do to make the day more special, please let us know and we will do everything we can to make it happen.
Aura's goal is to move as swiftly as we can whilst maintaining the quality of our services, ensuring you are informed regularly throughout the process. Please bear in mind that each funeral is different, and may require more or less time to arrange. For example, while we could organise a custom option for you in Harlow in as little as two weeks, other funeral arrangements might require more time to set up. Regardless of what kind of ceremony you opt for, we will always keep you updated, and will be glad to answer any specific questions about our progress that you might have at any point.
With Aura, you can rest assured that you will not face this difficult time without our support. Something we see every day is that suddenly needing to plan an unexpected funeral can be very tough, even at the best of times, especially if it wasn't foreseen, or if you've never had to organise one before. We are here to listen to you. Our uniquely trained team of Angels is ready to take as much or as little control of the planning as you need. Whether you are in Harlow or somewhere else, we want to release you from the stress of scheduling, ensuring you have the headspace you need to reflect on more fundamental things.
