Aura is a family-run company compassionately providing low-cost funeral plans. We were founded by Paul Jameson back in 2019, alongside his son David (our CEO), and a family friend called Ben. Paul was prompted to do this following his diagnosis with motor neurone disease, and the resulting desire to help families avoid the uncertainty and difficulty he has faced in planning for his own mortality. We can honestly say, with our industry-leading care (which has a 4.9/5 stars on Trustpilot), that we will never provide you with a service any less than Paul would want for his own family.
Our funeral plans are protected by the FCA and FSCS, ensuring your money is safe, and we are the only direct cremation services provider with two 5-star-rated plans on Fairer Finance. This guarantees that your funeral arrangements are secure and handled with care, regardless of when the service is required.
