Direct Cremation is an increasingly popular kind of funeral in the UK, and there are two main things that you might expect from one: there is less formality than a traditional funeral, and more of a sense of the personality of the person who is being commemorated. We find that they tend to be preferred by those who would not have been at their ease around things like pallbearers and hearses, but who would have wanted a personalised alternative. They are often unattended, but we can arrange for you and your family to be there, if you would like. We can make the arrangement in South Wales seamless for you: we retrieve your loved one and conduct them to the crematorium. Then, after the cremation ceremony, we either personally return their ashes to you at home or scatter them at the crematorium's peace garden for you -- whatever you think would be best. If you think this would be the right option for your loved one, we would be very pleased to receive your call.
It goes without saying that funerals are expensive, and suddenly needing to pay for one that might not have been expected can create worry and stress. We hope it is just a little bit of positive news to know that this kind of ceremony is likely to be the least expensive type available. It may also help to know that an Aura funeral could be delivered at less than half of the cost of the average British funeral. We could arrange one for you in South Wales from £1,095, but the best way to get an accurate quote is to give us a call and let us know what you need. We are ready and waiting for your call, and we would pleased to hear from you.
Recognising the individual at the heart of every funeral is Aura's mission, which is why we think personalisation is so important. There are different ways in which you can commemorate your loved one with little gestures: some people decide to select some music dear to their special person, which can be played whilst they are escorted into the crematorium. You could also have a spoken tribute from the celebrant overseeing the ceremony, through some personal, final words from you. Each person is different, so how you decide to send off your loved one will depend on what you (and they) would prefer; we'd happily receive your call on this subject, if you need some help to think of a few ideas.
It's Aura's goal to work efficiently and ensure that you're kept well-informed at all stages, but, as ever, please bear in mind that each funeral is special and different, and this can influence who quickly we can work. Once we have had a chance to have a chat with you about what you'd like, we can give you some more specific information about time frames. To give you a rough idea, we could organise a customised funeral in South Wales within two weeks, but others may require more time. Even though we will update you regularly from our side, if you ever feel that you need a specific notification from us, we'd welcome your call.
Please don't worry about this -- we know that organising the logistics of a funeral is trying enough at the best of times. We want to reassure you that we have a dedicated team on hand, whether you are in South Wales or somewhere else in Britain: the Angels. Their job is to take the pressure of organising the funeral off of your shoulders, and to have everything ready for you, exactly as you need it. They are ready to listen to you, and are just a phone call away.
