One thing about the end which can make us uncomfortable is the lack of control we seem to have over things, but a prepaid funeral plan can help to solve this. It can guarantee peace of mind for both you and your family: you can rest assured that your funeral will proceed just the way you have planned it, and your family can feel secure knowing that they don't have to make any difficult decisions on your behalf or pay for anything themselves. You should also know that, with Aura, you can lock in today's prices, protecting against potential future price increases, and you can either pay in a lump sum, or in instalments. What's more is that our plans are all-inclusive, covering you for doctor's fees, collection from anywhere in mainland Britain, and oversized/bariatric coffins. If you'd like to start a conversation with us about how we can help you plan things out in Leeds, why not give us a call and set your mind at ease today?
At Aura, we're all too aware of the stress that funeral costs can add to a family, even at the best of times. However, hopefully, it is some good news to know that Aura's funeral plans start at a price that could be less than half of the average cost of a funeral in the UK, according to the SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2024. Our plans begin at £1,695, but the average cost of a funeral in the UK is thought to be £4,141 by SunLife, making a significant difference. You may also appreciate knowing that our plans are all-inclusive, with zero hidden fees for things like urgent collection, doctor's fees, or the removal of medical devices prior to cremation.
A common worry to have when buying a funeral plan is how easy it would be to either edit or cancel it after it's been purchased. Our funeral plans are designed to release you from that worry; if something arises meaning that you need to amend or cancel your plan, we make it easy for you. We won't penalise you by charging you any added fees in either case, and you'll only have something to pay if you want to add something, for example, by making an unattended ceremony into a service with guests. Furthermore, if you need a refund for any reason, you just need to tell us and we can sort it for you with no fuss. If you'd like to ask us anything about this, or if you'd like to change or cancel an existing plan, you have only to contact us; we are waiting for your call.
Having questions about the next steps once we've bought a funeral plan is totally normal. Please don't worry -- Aura's plans have been designed to be seamless. When you buy from us in Leeds, you will nominate a responsible person to act as your representative when you pass away. We will give them a handy leaflet that explains exactly what they need to do when the time comes, and we will work together to arrange your funeral. We will aid them with the legal paperwork and also the logistical aspects of arranging a ceremony, depending on whether you will have guests or not. The money you've paid in advance will be used to pay for everything, so it will all work automatically.
Whether you're in Leeds or anywhere else in mainland Britain, by choosing Aura, you're choosing people who know the importance of offering a delicate and caring service. Our founder, Paul Jameson, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease back in 2017; he designed Aura as a gift for his family, starting it in 2019 when he realised that there was nothing out there that would let him take care of his family the way he wanted to before his end. We are a family-run company, with Aura still run today by Dave (Paul's son) and a family friend, Ben, with Paul's support. That's how we are truly able to offer you a caring service: it's the kind of service that Paul would want for himself and for his own family, so you know you can trust it.
