Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Hertford.
Close enough to the capital yet far enough away to enjoy all that nature has to offer, Hertford truly has it all. From the stunning castle grounds to the history displayed within the museum walls, Hertford is also home to Aura, the UK's top-rated 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 Woollensbrook Crematorium.
Aura offers attended and unattended direct cremation services across all of Hertford and the surrounding areas, including Waterford, Hertford Heath, Ware, Bayfordbury, Bramfield, Welwyn Garden City, Hoddesdon, Broxbourne and beyond.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Hertfordshire, including Hitchin, Kings Norton, Watford and Welwyn Garden City.
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.

The idea behind the Direct Cremation funeral ceremony is that, should your loved one not have wanted a traditional funeral with a hearse and pallbearers, they can instead have the option of something more personal and reflective of who they were in life. If you think that this might be the right option for them, Aura is ready to arrange the details in Hertford for you: we would collect them and escort them to the crematorium. Then, depending on what you think best, we can return their ashes to you personally at home, or the crematorium itself has a garden of remembrance in which they could be scattered. There are plenty of opportunities throughout to add details specific to them, allowing you to do right by them, and to bid farewell to them in a fittingly concise and respectful way.
Having to suddenly plan a funeral can be a stressful and costly experience for anyone, and we know that the added expense can cause a lot of worry for some. It may bring some relief to you to know that this type of ceremony is generally a lot more affordable than other kinds of funeral. The average cost of a British funeral can end up being more than twice as high as the price of an Aura funeral, and we could organise this type of ceremony in Hertford for you from £1,095. If you're worried about costs, why not give us a call and we can talk you through your options? We are ready when you are.
We are glad to say that there are many ways in which we could help you to personalise things for your loved one. There are those who like to make sure the song that plays as their loved one is brought into the crematorium before the ceremony is one of their favourites, for example. Other people find it important to have a final viewing of their loved one at the chapel of rest. With many of the traditional funeral elements removed, there is plenty of room for your wishes, and your loved one's personality. And we would be honoured to help you bring your ideas together into a ceremony that really does your loved one justice -- just give us a call, and we can get started.
Something that we see every day is that all funerals are special in their own way, and this means that they can take varying times to deliver. We would be very happy to give you a clearer idea of how long things will take once we have had the chance to talk to you about what you would like to do. In the meantime, as a rough idea, we could organise one of our bespoke funerals in Hertford within a fortnight, but other kinds of funeral will take longer to get sorted. As we are working, we will always keep you informed every step of the way, but if you ever feel that you need to know something specific, you are more than welcome to call us, and we would be delighted to hear from you.
Anxiety about managing to plan a ceremony that does right by our loved one, when we may have no experience of having done it before, is something that we see often. Please don't worry -- we are right here to support you, as much or as little as you need. We have a dedicated team called the Angels on hand who are there to make sure that you don't need to plan everything on your own. They will help you to shape the ceremony according to what you would like, and they will do all of the administrative legwork for you. We want you to be free to focus on more important matters at this difficult time.
