After being diagnosed with motor neurone disease, our founder Paul Jameson wanted to create a funeral provider that would offer affordable yet compassionate services. His vision continues to guide us all today. When you choose Aura, you’re choosing a team that will treat your loved one with the utmost respect and care, offering the support you need during a challenging time.
After the cremation, Aura provides flexible options for ashes. We can hand-deliver them to families in Darlington or within mainland Great Britain within 21 days, or, if preferred, arrange for them to be scattered in the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance. This flexibility ensures families can honour their loved ones in a way that feels right to them.
