Whether you choose this kind of ceremony for your loved one will depend on what sort of person they were in life. We tend to find that a Direct Cremation suits those who wouldn't have liked typical formalities at their funeral, like a hearse or a funeral procession, but instead would want a more personalised option. We can easily take care of things for you in Harrogate: We would collect your loved one from where they are resting, and bring them to the crematorium for their ceremony, which can be tailored to suit them. Afterwards, we can either scatter their ashes directly on your behalf at the crematorium's garden of peace, or we can personally hand-deliver them to you at home -- whatever you think would be more suitable. It provides the chance to remember your loved one with all of the traditional dignity, but in a manner appropriate to them.
We know that all of a sudden needing to plan a funeral ceremony that may have been unexpected can cause real financial pressure, as it is something that we see every day. We hope it brings some reassurance to know that this type of ceremony is typically a good deal cheaper than other kinds. The average cost of a British funeral could end up costing more than twice the cost of an Aura funeral, and we could provide this kind of ceremony in Harrogate from £1,095. However, as ever, the best way to get a direct quote is to give us a call and let us know what sort of funeral you would like to organise -- that way we can both come together to plan something perfect for your loved one that works for you.
We absolutely can -- that is exactly what Aura is all about. We see all the time the importance of reflecting the individuality of the person concerned in every funeral, and we have lots of different ways that we can help you with this: Many people opt to attend the ceremony in person, with friends and family, which is something we can easily arrange. Where others like to make sure that their loved one is carried into the crematorium to the sound of some music that was dear to them in life. If you would like to give us a call, we can plan a ceremony together that will truly do justice to your loved one.
We can guarantee that we will always work as quickly as we can without letting the quality of our service suffer, and we will always make sure that you understand what is happening with everything throughout. Each funeral, which like as with the question of price, is different, which means that how long they take to organise can differ too. To give you a rough estimate, we are able to arrange a more customised ceremony for you with in 2 weeks, but others can take more time. Once we have had an opportunity to discuss things with you over the phone, we can give you more accurate information about a wait time.

Concerns of this kind are common, and you are certainly not alone in feeling this way.
