At Aura, our prepaid funeral plans in Sheffield are the same as all over the UK. It is an opportunity to organise and pay for your funeral ahead of time as a meaningful gesture to those you leave behind. A plan can offer you the peace of mind that your preferences will be respected, but it also brings comfort to your family who will know for sure the type of funeral you wanted. On top of that, you are also protecting them from funeral price increases that might happen in the future. The money you pay today will then be stored in an independently managed trust until it's needed. If you'd like to learn more, our team is on hand to take your call and offer support.
Aura's direct cremation plans, which start at just £1,695, offer a respectful and compassionate alternative to traditional funerals. Our prices are much lower than the national average funeral cost of £4,141 which comes from data in the SunLife 2024 Cost of Dying Report. Choosing Aura for your prepaid funeral plan in Sheffield or elsewhere means selecting a company dedicated to providing compassionate and high-quality services without financial burden. The funeral service you want can impact costs, so if you'd like to know more about Aura's options, give us a call.
With Aura, you have complete freedom to adjust your funeral plan at any time after purchase, and this flexibility comes with no additional fees. It's important to us that your plan meets your needs, so we don't want to lock you in. If you choose to modify your plan by adding an attended service at a Sheffield crematorium, there will be a cost for these services, but there are no extra fees for making changes. You can also cancel your plan at no cost if necessary. Our team is dedicated to making this process as smooth and supportive as possible for you. If you have any questions or want to explore your options further, feel free to give us a call.
The first step will be contacting our team. It will be up to your nominated representative (a friend or family member you have appointed to be our point of contact) to let us know you have passed. You will be quickly taken into our care to prepare for your direct cremation. Our team is then on hand to support those you leave behind with whatever they need. From legal paperwork to having someone to talk to, your family will not be alone. If your plan includes a service, we'll help plan that too. Your funeral and your family will both be treated with compassion and respect.
Aura’s approach to direct cremation services is rooted in a deep commitment to genuinely caring for each client we serve. Ensuring quality and providing support and respect for you and your family are our top priorities. This dedication to compassionate service has earned us a five-star rating from independent experts at Fairer Finance and is also reflected in our 4.9-star rating on Trustpilot. Founded by Paul Jameson, who wanted to challenge the stigma surrounding death, and now run with his son Dave and family friend Ben, Aura is more than just a funeral service provider. We are a family-run business dedicated to helping you arrange a meaningful farewell in Sheffield and beyond.
