With Aura’s top-rated unattended cremation services, there’s a simple, affordable send-off that’s right for you.
An Aura unattended cremation, otherwise known as a ‘direct cremation’, is a simple, more affordable alternative to a traditional funeral.
We respectfully transport the person who has died in a private ambulance from where they’ve been resting, to the crematorium on the day of their cremation.
It lets you avoid the typical formalities of a traditional funeral and spares you from unnecessary expenses.
With Aura, there’s no fuss, and no formality – just a respectful farewell on your terms, your way.
Our satisfied families have made us the top-rated cremation services provider on Trustpilot, with a rating of 4.9/5 stars. Our person-centred care is rated ‘Excellent’ for the level of compassion and support that we offer each individual family we support.
The Aura Angels cannot be found anywhere else. It’s their caring manner combined with their many years of practical, funeral-arranging experience that allows us to provide customers with outstanding levels of care.
Aura was founded by Paul Jameson to provide the service Paul wanted for his own family. Aura is now under the care of Paul and his son David, which is why we can proudly say that our service is from our family to yours.
After a person has died, the death will need to be verified by a medical professional such as a doctor or coroner.
Once the death has been verified, we will make arrangements to bring them into care as soon as possible.
The death will need to be registered and there will be a few legal forms to complete before the cremation can occur.
Our compassionate team of Angels will be on hand to support you through every step of the process.
Arrange a simple cremation with all the essentials included.
Aura was created to offer a choice to those who don’t feel a traditional funeral service is right for them. We remove expensive elements such as hearses and limousines to provide a simple, low-cost alternative.
With Aura, you could arrange a direct cremation for less than half the average UK funeral cost. SunLife place the average UK funeral cost at £4,141. Our unattended direct cremations start at £1,095.
Families can plan a later celebration of their loved one’s life away from the crematorium. Our Angel team will make sure everything goes smoothly on the day, and what happens next is entirely up to you.
If an unattended direct cremation doesn’t feel quite right for you, Aura also offers two attended direct cremation options:

What makes us unique is our incredible Angel team.
Every single family who trusts itself to our care will be guided throughout the entire process by this wonderful group of funeral-industry experts. That goes for both attended and unattended cremations.
It’s their calling to provide each and every family with the exact funeral that they need and deserve. They will do that first and foremost by taking the time to listen to you, and by giving you someone with expertise to lean on in these difficult moments.
There are two big advantages with Aura’s unattended cremations. The first is that you only pay for what you need. And the second is that they are much easier to organise, leaving less stress for the family. Our Angel team will take care of everything, letting you focus on being with family and being present in the important moments.
An Aura unattended cremation allows the necessary matters to be taken care of with minimal fuss, opening the way for a much more uplifting and positive celebration of life later, once you have had some time to time to breathe and face the initial stages of bereavement.

An unattended cremation is an ever more favoured, cheaper funeral option that differs from tradition. We simply transfer the person who has died to our state-of-the-art mortuary facilities from the place of death. Then, when the time comes, we transport them privately to the crematorium where they are cremated.
Direct cremation is a lot cheaper than a traditional funeral. That’s because the expensive formalities like hearses or floral tributes are left to the side. It also provides another choice for people who’d like to avoid tradition, if that’s not something that suits who they are.
Certainly – with Aura, that’s no problem. Direct cremations normally don’t have any attendees, but we offer two ‘attended’ options for those who’d like to have friends and family near: ‘Intimate Farewell’ and ‘Fully Attended’. Our ‘Intimate’ option allows up to 15 loved ones to be there for a short service. For the ‘Fully Attended’ option, as many guests as the crematorium can hold are able to attend a service of up to 45 minutes.
Of course we can. Just tell your current funeral director you’ve decided that you’d like us to look after you. Once you’ve settled any outstanding fees with them, we will immediately arrange to bring your loved one into our care.
For an additional fee, we can personally hand them to you at your door in a durable scatter-tube. This easily prepares the ashes to be disbursed in a place that was special to your loved one. Or, if you would prefer, we can simply scatter them for you at the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance.
If you don’t currently have a funeral plan in place and are looking to arrange one, it may be possible for us to arrange a viewing of your loved one at a Chapel of Rest before their cremation ceremony. If you’d like to find out more about this, get in touch with a member of our team on 0800 808 5723.
