Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Southampton.
Teeming with its rich maritime heritage, Southampton is home to some of the UK's greatest entities. It boasts one of the most important ports in the UK, alongside Aura, the top-rated prepaid direct cremation plan provider in the UK.
Aura is a family-run company that provides the UK’s top-rated direct cremation services, whether they’re needed now or in the future. With our cremations, there are no hearses or pallbearers; instead we offer a simple, affordable direct cremation with an optional low-cost service at Wessex Vale Crematorium.
Aura's prepaid direct cremation funeral plans are available to all families across Southampton and beyond, including Whiteley, Fareham, Lee-on-the-Solent, Hamble-le-Rice, Wickham, Waterlooville, Portsmouth, Havant and Gosport.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Hampshire, including Fareham, Kirkby In Ashfield, New Forest, Romsey, Southend On Sea and Winchester.
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.

A Direct Cremation is a type of funeral that is becoming ever more popular in the UK, which is usually unattended. It suits those who like things to be quieter and less ostentatious, as it doesn't include things like a procession or floral tributes. Aura is able to plan one in Southampton for you; we would simply escort your loved one to the crematorium, conduct a brief ceremony, and then, afterwards, personally bring their ashes back to you. If you prefer, they could also be scattered at the crematorium's garden. In this way, you can commemorate them simply, and with dignity.
We find that the best way to give you accurate information about cost is by calling us on the phone, where we can go through your options together. The added financial strain of a funeral is something that many find themselves suddenly needing to think about; we hope it is of some comfort to know that this type of service is normally a good deal cheaper than other kinds of funeral. One of ours could be arranged for less than half of the cost of the average British funeral, and we could plan this type of ceremony for you in Southampton from £1,095.
We are ready to assist you in any way we can to make the ceremony as special as possible to your loved one. There are many ways that we can make room for your wishes in the proceedings: some people like to provide the celebrant with some personalised words about their loved one, which can be spoken at the beginning of the ceremony. We can even arrange for the ceremony to be attended, if you think that would be best. If you'd like to get in touch with us via telephone, we can discuss things together and arrange a ceremony that does right by your loved one's wishes and spirit.
Every funeral that we arrange is different and special, and that can also impact the time it takes to get things sorted. We will do our best to organise everything as quickly as we can without impacting the quality of our service. Once we have spoken together about what you would like, we can get a plan sorted, and give you a more accurate timescale, but until then it is quite difficult to be specific. As a guide, we could arrange a tailored Aura funeral for you in Southampton within fourteen days, but other types of funeral will take longer.
It's perfectly normal to worry about planning a funeral properly, especially if you were not expecting to have to do it, or if you have never done it before. Please don't worry -- our team of dedicated Angels is ready and waiting to help you. They are there to shoulder the stress of the logistics at this time, and they will not leave you on your own to organise things. To put it simply, it's our job, and we want to make sure that you have the peace of mind that you need in order to focus on family and friends.
