Why choose Aura?

Aura is the top-rated provider on Trustpilot of cremation services, with a score of 4.9/5 stars. That’s due to our family-run ethos, and our incredible team of funeral arrangers, whom we call the Angels. They embody our people-centred way of doing things, ensuring that the service we offer never falls short of the standards that our father-and-son founders, Paul and Dave, would want for their own family.

Aura was founded by Paul Jameson with his son Dave and their friend, Ben, after Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease back in 2017. Their journey as a family with the struggle of terminal illness has informed their approach to offering direct cremation services. They want to make sure that you and your family have a low-cost alternative to a traditional funeral without any unnecessary expense or fuss. Aura proudly offers that promise to you, along with a commitment to 5-star, compassionate service.

Our Direct Cremation Process

1. We're ready to listen

If a loved one of yours has recently died, or if they are nearing the end of their life, we'll gladly help you to make the arrangements. The first step is to give us a call.

2. Collecting your loved one

We don't need to collect your loved one immediately, so please take your time in saying your goodbyes. Once you're ready for us, we'll bring them into our care.

3. Supporting you and your family

Whilst your loved one is resting safely in our state-of-the-art mortuary facilities, we'll guide you through all the legal paperwork, ensuring the cremation can go ahead smoothly.

4. A chance to say farewell

We know that it's important for some families to say goodbye at a ceremony before the cremation. If you would like, we can help you to arrange a simple, low-cost ceremony at a local crematorium.

5. The cremation

For those without a ceremony, we'll make sure to let you know at what time the cremation will take place, so that you can have a moment of quiet reflection to yourself.

6. Your loved one's ashes

Depending on what you'd like, we can either hand-deliver the ashes to you at home within 21 days. Or we can scatter them respectfully on your behalf at the crematorium's own Garden of Remembrance.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and personal touches

Priority Care

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

What occurs at a Swansea direct cremation?: Your loved one will be brought carefully to the crematorium in a private ambulance for their direct cremation. If you’d like, music that was dear to your loved one in life can play as they are carried into the crematorium chapel and set upon the catafalque. Shortly after this, their cremation will happen.
Is it expensive to organise a direct cremation in Swansea cost?: It’s our mission to offer a low-cost alternative to a traditional funeral which helps you and your family to avoid needless expense. Aura’s unattended direct cremation services in Swansea start at [£DC_AN], while our attended services start at [£IN_AN]. Compared to the national average funeral price last year of £4,141 (according to information given by SunLife), our unattended direct cremation price is more than 50% cheaper.
Are family and friends allowed to attend the direct cremation in Swansea if they want to?: An attended direct cremation is very similar in format to an unattended one, with the only main difference being the attendance of guests. The family will choose a celebrant or a religious minister to create and oversee a ceremony based on the life of their loved one. We can offer a service that lasts between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the option you choose.
How much help will I be given to arrange the direct cremation in Swansea for my loved one?: It’s important to bear in mind that certain legal formalities need to be taken care of before a cremation is allowed to occur. Our Angel team will be on hand to provide as much assistance to your family as they want, and they know that the level of support needed can differ from family to family. Rest assured that, however you’d like to handle things, the Angels will make sure that everything is in place when it needs to be.
What’s the usual time-scale for a direct cremation in Swansea?: Each funeral is different, which means that it’s best to avoid providing an estimate at the outset. You can trust us to work as fast as we can without compromising on the quality of the care we provide. We will always update you every step of the way, so that you’re never left in the dark.
