We understand that it can be hard to know what our loved ones would have really wanted, especially if we find ourselves needing to plan a funeral for them at short notice. It might help you to learn that a Direct Cremation is a ceremony increasingly favoured by British people who are looking for a more authentic and personalised option than the traditional funeral. It means, if your loved one wouldn't have liked to be carried by pallbearers or to have a funeral procession, this could provide an alternative. We can smoothly arrange things in Shropshire for you by collecting your loved one from where they are resting and bringing them to the crematorium for their ceremony. We would then, afterwards, depending on what you'd like, scatter their ashes on your behalf at the garden of solace, or hand-deliver them to you personally at home. If you have any questions about what this kind of ceremony involves, we'd be very glad to receive your call.
We understand that a funeral -- especially one that might be unexpected -- is likely to be expensive for most families, and we would never wish to downplay the costs of that. That said, we hope it makes things just a little easier to know that this kind of funeral is often a lot less expensive than other kinds available in the UK. An Aura funeral could cost less than half of the price of the average British funeral, and we are able to plan this kind of ceremony for you from £1,095. The best way to get an accurate quote is to give us a call: once we have managed to talk to you about what you are looking for, we can put something together that works for you.
Due to the fact that the ceremony doesn't include many of the traditional elements of other funerals, more room opens up in proceedings for their wishes. We understand how important it is to make things feel as special and authentically about your loved one as possible, and we would be very glad to help you with that. For instance, many like to make sure that they can have a final viewing of their loved one before the beginning of the ceremony, at the chapel of rest, as it can be important for a sense of closure. Others want to make sure that their loved one has a coffin that reflects something of how they lived their life, whether in its colour, design, the materials its made from, or the way in which it is themed or adorned. If you have your own ideas that you'd like to share with us, we'd be very pleased to assist you over the phone.
Choosing our tailored funeral service means we could have all arrangements in place in Shropshire within 14 days, though different choices might extend this period. We will make sure that we keep you well-informed throughout the planning process, providing you with regular updates. Our goal is to plan everything for you as quickly as we can, while ensuring that the quality of our service remains at the same high standard. However, it's important to remember that various funeral types require differing preparation times. Do give us a call to discuss the type of service you'd like for your loved one, and we can then provide you with a more exact time estimate.
