Scotland is home to some of the world’s most celebrated natural beauty, with spots like the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye and Glen Coe achieving ‘legendary’ status. Scotland is also home to Aura, and it proudly extends its direct cremation services to families throughout Scotland, including in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Dundee.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Scotland, including Aberdeen, Ayr, Dumfries, Dundee, East Kilbride, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Glasgow, Hamilton, Inverness, Livingston, Marlborough, Melrose, Motherwell, Paisley, Perth and Stirling.
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.

Aura’s direct cremations in Scotland work like this: We will collect the one who has died and bring them into our care at state-of-the-art mortuary facilities. From there, once the paperwork has been completed, we will bring them to the crematorium in a private ambulance. Following shortly after some brief words from an attendant at the crematorium, they’ll be cremated.
The starting price for our unattended direct cremation services in Scotland is £1,095. The average cost of a funeral in the UK last year, according to SunLife, was £4,141, which is more than twice what you could pay with Aura. If you’d like to arrange an attended service, we can do this for you starting from £1,895.
This is absolutely a possibility with Aura in Scotland, if you feel it would be best. The process is very similar to that for the unattended service, but with a few key differences. The coffin will be brought into the crematorium and placed on the catafalque before the arrival of any guests. Much like with our unattended ceremonies, music dear to the one who has died will be playing, but in this case, the guests will arrive as it does so. There will then be a ceremony officiated and designed by a celebrant or religious official, personalised around the life of your loved one. Our services last between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the option you pick.
There are quite a lot of different elements to consider when arranging a direct cremation, from legal paperwork beforehand, to the recovery or scattering of ashes afterwards. You can rest assured that our industry-leading Angel team is there to offer you just as much help as you need, from start to finish.
We wouldn’t want to mislead you by giving you an estimate ahead of time that ends up not matching your personal experience; all funerals are different, after all, and it helps to bear this in mind. We can promise that we will always work as hard as we can to be as efficient as possible without sacrificing quality. We will also make sure that you are regularly updated of our progress, and not left in the dark.
