Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Leicester.
Whilst Leicester boasts its historical Leicester Cathedral and the aptly named Cultural Quarter, it is also home to the UK's top-rated prepaid direct cremation 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 Great Glen Crematorium.
Aura's prepaid direct cremation services are available across all of Leicestershire and its suburbs, including Wigston, Great Glen, Nrborough, Coalville, Shepshed, Mountsorrel and Melton Mowbray.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Leicestershire, including Lutterworth.
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.

This choice is ultimately a personal one, but, typically, a Direct Cremation suits those who wouldn't have wanted to make a fuss, or those who would have wanted to express their personality more at their funeral. That's because it doesn't involve most of the common formalities of usual funeral, such as flower displays or a hearse, meaning there is more room for your loved one's spirit to shine through. Usually, nobody attends a this kind of ceremony, but if you'd like to be there with family and friends we can arrange this for you. If you'd like your loved one to have one in Leicester, we can arrange to take them to the crematorium, and have the cremation ceremony. Afterwards, depending on what they would have liked, we can either hand-deliver their ashes to you at home, or we can scatter them in the garden of the crematorium on your behalf. It is a perfect way to commemorate a loved one in a concise and dignified way that is true to them.
The quickest way to get a clear idea on how much things might cost is to give us a call so that we can talk about your options together, then we can give you a direct quote. Of course, each funeral is its own special and unique thing, and that can impact the cost. It might be helpful to bear in mind that the average cost of a British funeral could be more than twice the cost of an Aura funeral, and we could organise this type of farewell for you in Leicester from £1,095.
The good news is that there are plenty of opportunities to have your voice heard during the organisation process. We at Aura want to make sure that there is lots of space for the expression of your loved one's spirit during the ceremony, so that it can be as special and memorable as possible. We have a few ways in which we can help with that: for example, you could decide whether (and what kind of) music plays whilst your loved one is brought into the crematorium, meaning you've got the option to pick one of their favourite songs. If you'd like, we can also make sure that the chaplain says a few special words about your loved one before the cremation begins.
We will always work our hardest to deliver things as efficiently as possible without compromising on our service, but each funeral is different, which means how long they take to deliver can also differ. If you were to select one of our bespoke funerals, the process could be completed within two weeks, but other funerals will have longer time scales. You are more than welcome to call us at any point should you need a specific notification, and we will always keep you regularly updated for our part.
Planning funerals is what Aura does best, and our mission is to make sure that our expertise is there for you when you need it. Our brilliant team of Angels will take all of the administrative legwork from you, if that is what you need, whether you are in Leicester or anywhere else. They will make sure that the funeral is organised according to your exact specifications, with minimal fuss. Ultimately, we want you to be able to focus on the important stuff at a time like this, leaving the admin to us.
