With Aura’s top-rated, all-inclusive, prepaid funeral plans, find the peace of mind you’ve been searching for. Designed to meet your needs and budget together, we offer a service that is five-star and family-run.
The UK’s highest-rated prepaid direct cremation plans.
Aura’s prepaid direct cremation funeral plans are a simple, low-cost alternative to a traditional funeral. Our five-star-rated plans are all-inclusive with no hidden costs, so there’s nothing left for your loved ones to pay when the time comes.
With an unattended direct cremation plan, on the day of your cremation, we’ll take you to the crematorium privately. We’ll support your loved ones through the entire process and keep them informed every step of the way.
Within 21 days of the cremation, we will hand-return the ashes to your next of kin.
With an attended direct cremation plan, choose between a 15-minute private service for up to 15 attendees, or a 45-minute service up to the crematorium’s maximum guest capacity.
We’ll support your next of kin to find a suitable celebrant or minister to lead the service if this is something they’d like.
An Aura prepaid funeral plan allows you to plan and pay for your funeral in advance. Then, when the time comes, we’ll arrange your funeral exactly as you planned it.
A prepaid funeral plan brings peace of mind to those around you, knowing that everything relating to your funeral will have already been organised and paid for ahead of time.
Aura is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and our plans are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). You can rest assured that, when you purchase a prepaid funeral plan from Aura, your money is secure.

And you can rest assured that, if you do buy one of our plans, your money will be safe. We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and we are also signed up to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
Our plans begin at £1,595 – less than half of the average cost of a funeral in the UK*.
They include total flexibility to cancel or amend without any penalties, as well as the ability to decide how you want to pay. Our plans are also all-inclusive, meaning there’s nothing left for your family to pay when the time comes.
Keep in mind too that a prepaid funeral plan allows you to lock in today’s prices. No matter how expensive funerals have become by the time you pass away, yours will only ever cost what you paid for it when you bought your plan.

Our plans are also protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This reassures you that, in the highly unlikely scenario where Aura is not able to action your plan, you may be eligible for compensation.

We are the only prepaid direct cremation plan provider to have two cremation plan options rated five stars by independent experts, Fairer Finance and The Times Money Mentor. Our plans have this rating because they are both fully guaranteed, have no additional charges for collecting the deceased or removing medical devices, offer free cancellation and hand-deliver the ashes back to the family at no additional cost. You can read more about why our plans are rated five stars here.
Purchasing a funeral plan guarantees your funeral costs when you die, which means no matter how high funeral costs might rise in the future, your family have nothing to pay when the time comes. Purchasing a funeral plan brings great peace of mind to both you and your family knowing that, when a difficult time comes, there is one less thing to worry about.
When you pay for an Aura funeral plan, the money for your funeral is put into a safe and secure trust. This is managed by independent trustees separate from Aura. The trustees look after this money on your behalf until it is needed to pay for your funeral.
That’s very unlikely but if we couldn’t deliver the services we’d look to put an alternative provider in place or offer a full refund. The money that you pay to us is protected in a trust that’s managed independently from both Aura and the Funeral Services Provider.
Just get in touch by phone or email. There’s no fee for making a change and you’ll only pay extra if you upgrade your plan.
