Direct Cremation is an increasingly popular type of funeral among British people. We tend to find that it is a preferred option for those who wouldn't have wanted to cause a fuss, or to make themselves the centre of attention. It is an understated and brief kind of ceremony that normally doesn't include any guests, although we can arrange for you to be there if you would like. It also doesn't include traditional formalities like a hearse or pallbearers, so if your loved one would not have been comfortable with this kind of thing, it may be the best option for them. We can smoothly arrange one in Milton Keynes by collecting them from where they are resting and bringing them to the crematorium for their ceremony. After the cremation has taken place, we can then bring their ashes back to you at home personally, or scatter them for you at the crematorium's own peace garden.
We understand that suddenly having to arrange a funeral that was maybe unexpected can place financial strain on your budget, and lead to anxiety. We hope that it makes everything just a little more bearable to learn that this kind of ceremony is often a great deal cheaper than other kinds of funeral. Indeed, an Aura funeral could end up costing you less than half of what you would pay for the average British funeral, and we could sort out this type of ceremony for you in Milton Keynes from the price of £1,095. However, in order for us to share a direct quote with you, we would encourage you to pick up the phone and give us a call. That way we can discuss everything properly with you, and put a plan together that works for you, and does right by your loved one.
Bringing your loved one's personality into proceedings is exactly what Aura does best, and we would be honoured to help you make this a reality. There are lots of ways in which we can personalise the service. To give you a couple of ideas to help get you started, many people find it important to arrange a final viewing of their loved one where they are resting before the ceremony, in order to get a sense of closure. Others like to ensure that their loved one has a coffin that says something about the person they were in life, whether through the materials it is made from, its design or colour, or possibly the way in which it is adorned, i.e., with photos of people or places special to them, or a theme relating to their interests. Whatever ideas you might have, we'd be very pleased to receive your call and make your vision a reality.
Every funeral is different, and that is something that we see every day doing what we do. This means that the time taken to arrange things can vary depending on what you are looking for. While we can't give you a concrete time frame at the outset, we can say that it's possible to arrange a more bespoke funeral for your loved one within 14 days, but others will need more time. Once we have managed to speak together about what you would like to organise, we will be able to advise more fully on this matter. We will always make sure that you understand our progress as we organise things, and you are always more than welcome to call us should you need a direct update.
We are here to listen to you whenever you need us throughout this process. We know that needing to organise a funeral at short notice can be disorientating and tough, but we are experienced hands with everything funeral related, and we want to help. Our team of Angels is on hand to relieve of you of the hassle of planning things out, and to do all of the administrative legwork, should you need them to. Our goal is to make sure that you can focus on what counts at a time like this, instead of being burdened by extra admin.
