If your loved one would have wanted a big, traditional funeral with all of the usual formalities, then it might not be the right option for them. A Direct Cremation is an increasingly popular option among British people, and we tend to find that it is favoured by those seeking a more personalised and less formal option. If your loved one wouldn't have liked a funeral procession or to be carried by pallbearers, then could be an option that would suit them. We can organise the ceremony smoothly for you in Stoke: We would bring your loved one to their ceremony at the crematorium, and then, afterwards, we can either return their ashes personally, directly to you, or scatter them on your behalf at the crematorium's garden of remembrance. Should you have any questions about what this ceremony would involve, then you have only to give us a call.
We would never wish to minimise the financial impact of a sudden funeral on you, because we know that an expense like this can provoke worries and anxiety. We hope it brings you just a little bit of comfort to know that other kinds of funeral in the UK are usually a lot more expensive than this one. An Aura funeral could be arranged for less than half of the price of the average funeral in the UK, and our price for this kind of ceremony in Stoke starts at £1,095. Once we have had a chance to talk to you about what you'd like us to arrange for your loved one, we can give you a direct quote that works for you.
Personalising our funeral ceremonies is what Aura stands for, and we would be very pleased to help you make your loved one's send-off as authentically theirs as we possibly can. With things like a hearse or pallbearers left aside, more space opens up for the inclusion of your loved one's interests and character in proceedings. To make a few suggestions to help you, we often find that people like to ensure the music which plays as their loved one is brought into the crematorium is special to them. Others make a point of customising their loved one's coffin to reflect who they were in life, whether through their interests or hobbies, for example. You could select different designs, materials, colours and even adorn the coffin in various ways with photos or words of your choice. If you have a vision of your own that you would like us to help you realise, that is what we are here for. We would be delighted to receive your call and help you to plan something truly memorable for your loved one.
If you feel that one of our personalised funeral options would be the best fit for your loved one's ceremony, we may be able to complete arrangements within a fortnight, although other options may need longer. We fully understand the need for regular updates during the organisation of things, and so we commit to keeping you informed every step of the way. Our aim is to deliver our services swiftly and efficiently, without letting their quality drop. However, you might find it useful to keep in mind that different types of funeral will need different lengths of time to be arranged. We would be very pleased if you could call us to share your wishes for your loved one's ceremony, and then we can then provide you with a clearer indication of the time frame we will need.
At Aura, we're committed to supporting you through every step of the process. The sudden responsibility of arranging a funeral, especially under unexpected circumstances or if it's the first time you've ever had to do it, can be daunting and stir up anxiety. But we urge you not to feel overwhelmed. Our team of Angels are equipped to handle any questions you may have. We are always ready to take your call, whether you're in Poole or elsewhere, and to attentively listen to your wishes. Our goal is to ensure your loved one is honoured with the tribute they deserve, allowing you to concentrate on the essential things without feeling the extra worry of admin hassle.
