Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Taunton.
Aura compassionately offers its direct cremation services to your family in Taunton. As a family-run business, we provide you with a reasonably priced, no-fuss alternative to a traditional funeral. Our caring and kind Angel Team have made us the top-rated direct cremation services provider on Trustpilot, with 4.9/5 stars, through their exemplary, people-centred care. They will gently guide you through every moment of organising a loved one’s funeral in the Taunton area.
Aura is a family-run company, founded by a father, son and family friend in adverse circumstances. Paul, our co-founder, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2017, which spurred him on to find the best way to put things in place for his family. Aura is the result of his efforts, and he runs the company to this day with his son, our CEO Dave, and Ben, our COO. At Aura, we will only ever offer you the kind of service that Paul would want for his own family, which is why we are truly able to say ‘from our family to yours’.
Taunton, which gets its name from the river Tone that it sits beside, is a bustling market town in the county of Somerset. With historical gems like the Tudor frontages of Fore Street, or the quaint red bricks of the Gray’s Almshouses, and the natural splendour of the Vivary, Goodlands and Victoria parks, Taunton is also home to Aura. We proudly serve the families of Taunton with our low-cost, attended and unattended direct cremation services, Bridgwater, Honiton, Burnham-on-Sea, and Tiverton.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Devon, including Barnstaple, Exeter, Oldbury, Plymouth and Torquay.
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. You can read more about our processes. Don't just take our word for it, see how we compare to the others.

We will carefully bring your loved one to the crematorium in a private ambulance for their direct cremation in Taunton. If you would like, we can arrange to have music special to them played as they are brought in and placed upon the catafalque. Shortly after this moment, the cremation will occur.
Not all funerals have to be highly expensive. Aura is proud to say that its direct cremations in Taunton start at less than half the average cost of a funeral in the UK, which, according to SunLife, is £4,141. Our unattended options start at £1,095; a small, attended ceremony can be added, starting from £1,895.
Happily, Aura is easily able to arrange for family and friends to bid farewell to a loved one in person, if that’s what they’d like. The format of an attended ceremony is very similar to that of the unattended, with the crucial difference that the family can select either a secular celebrant or a religious minister to write and lead a ceremony around the life of their loved one. Our attended services can last between 15 and 45 minutes.
Our Angel Team is experienced enough to know how much or little help to provide in each different situation, so if you feel you don’t need your hand to be held, we can simply act in an advisory capacity throughout the process. There are certain pieces of legal documentation that are required before a cremation can legally occur, and we will always make sure that everything is in order from our side.
Please bear in mind that each funeral is unique and different in its own way, and that organising a funeral requires the alignment of many moving parts. This makes it quite difficult to specify in advance how long things are likely to take. Regardless of the delivery time, we will always strive to update you of our progress regularly, and make sure you’re not left in the dark.
