Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Lake District.
The scenery within the rolling hills of the Lake District is second to none. With a gentle walk along the paths or a more challenging hike up England's highest mountain - Scafell Pike - the Lake District is where all varieties of life come together. And life deserves to be celebrated, which is where Aura comes in - 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 the Lake District.
No matter where you are across the Lake District, from Penrith, Cockermouth, Workington, Whitehavon, Kendal, Ulverston and beyond, Aura's dedicated team are here to help.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Cumbria, including Carlisle.
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.

A Direct Cremation is an increasingly popular kind of funeral ceremony which is different from the norm in a number of ways. It is usually very concise, often unattended (although it doesn't have to be) and it doesn't include most of the traditional formalities. If your loved one would have disliked the idea of being carried by pallbearers, or brought to their funeral in a hearse, you may be glad to know that this kind of ceremony provides another option. We find that it suits those who would have wanted to put their own stamp on things, and bring their own personalities into proceedings. If you'd like us to organise one in the Lake District, we can do that with ease: we would bring your loved one from where they are resting to the crematorium for their ceremony. Then, following this, we can either scatter their ashes on your behalf in the crematorium's garden of peace, or we can hand-deliver them back to you personally, as you prefer. If this sounds like the right option for your loved one, please give us a call, and we can help to plan a service that does right by them, and allows you to commemorate them in a dignified and concise way.
To give you a starting point, we could arrange this kind of ceremony in the Lake District from £1,095. We understand that the added cost of an unexpected funeral can put real pressure on household budgets, so we hope that it brings some comfort to know that this kind of ceremony is usually much cheaper than other kinds, and also that an Aura funeral could cost you less than half of the price of the average British funeral. Of course, we would like you to bear in mind that each funeral is different, which means that the best way to get a direct quote for the funeral you require is to give us a call and let us know what you need.
If there is anything at all that we can do to help make this day as memorable and special as possible, we would be honoured. Helping the individuality of your loved one shine through in their ceremony is what we are all about. That's why we offer a range of different options, like being able to personalise the words spoken about them by the celebrant, as they begin the ceremony. Or by giving you the chance to have a final viewing of your loved one at the chapel of rest before the ceremony begins, for example. If you have a vision of your own that you would like our help to make a reality, we would be glad to receive your phone call.
Much as with cost, each funeral is special and unique, which means the time it takes us to get everything sorted for you could vary depending on what you are looking for. As an example, it might be possible for us to plan one of our more bespoke options, in the Lake District, within a 14-day period, but other funerals will need more time. We'd recommend giving us a call so that we can understand what you need, and then we will be better placed to give you a firmer estimate. We can guarantee that we will work as quickly as we can without letting the quality of our service slide; we will also make sure you are regularly informed throughout, and we welcome any call from you to request an update at any time.
Planning a funeral is difficult enough at the best of times, especially if you have never had to do it before, or if it has placed sudden financial strain on your shoulders. We understand that, and worries about being able to cope at a time like this are something we see frequently. Please don't worry -- we will not abandon you and leave you to do this yourself. Our experienced team of Angels are here, ready to listen to you, and to get every detail they need in order to plan your loved one's funeral. Our goal is to do right by them, and to release you from the hassle of organising. Whether you are in the Lake District or anywhere else in Britain, we want you to be able to be in the moment with friends and family -- not distracted by admin.
