With Aura’s attended direct cremation services you can arrange a low-cost, meaningful service at a local crematorium.
An Aura direct cremation is a low-cost, easier alternative to a traditional funeral.
There’s none of the fuss of hearses, processions or limousines. We simply bring the person who has died to the crematorium in a private ambulance on the day of their cremation.
While a direct cremation is normally unattended, Aura offers attended options, unlike many providers. Families can arrange a simple, low-cost service for a meaningful goodbye at a crematorium. Our team can also help you to select a celebrant or a religious minister to oversee the service.
Our person-centred care has earned us an ‘Excellent’ rating on Trustpilot. The families who have chosen our service have also made us the top-rated cremation services provider, with a total Trustpilot rating of 4.9/5 stars.
Our highly-rated team of Aura Angels have decades of shared experience between them. It’s their passion to be there for you, and lead you by the hand through all the difficulties of arranging a funeral with patience and compassion.
After his motor neurone diagnosis, Paul Jameson founded Aura to provide a funeral arranging service that he’d want for his own family. Now, we proudly offer a compassionate, person-centred service from our family to yours.
We’ll make sure you only ever pay for what you need, but depending on circumstances, there may be additional fees. These aren’t always applicable, so call our team to find out more. Follow this link if you’d like to learn more about compulsory and avoidable funeral costs.

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.
We partner with the Association of Independent Celebrants (AOIC). Our Angels will help you select a celebrant who will work closely with you to design a service in honour of your loved one.
Depending on your choice, the service will be between 15 and 45 minutes. The Aura Angels will oversee the whole process, including arranging music, orders of service and returning the ashes.
After the cremation has taken place, we’ll scatter the ashes on your behalf at the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance. Alternatively, we can hand-deliver the ashes back to you at home.
Wherever you are in mainland Great Britain, we can help you to arrange a meaningful, low-cost service at a crematorium close to home. To see what areas we cover, click ‘Our locations’ below.

If you’re looking to plan a funeral in advance for yourself or a loved one, Aura offers the UK’s highest rated attended direct cremation plans.
Our five-star-rated plans offer flexible monthly payments and ensure peace of mind that everything is sorted when the time comes.
We also partner with the Association of Independent Celebrants, so we’ll help those closest to you find the right celebrant to lead your service.
It’s a popular, cheaper alternative to a traditional funeral. Normally there is no ceremony and no mourners. We collect the person who has died, bring them into our care, and then take them to the crematorium when it’s time.
Absolutely. Unlike other funeral providers, we give that choice to you. You can decide to celebrate your loved one’s life right after their cremation, or gather your friends and family together at a later date. It’s up to you.
We work with established partners, many of whom are registered with NAFD and SAIF who have stringent codes of conduct around identification checks and the handling of ashes. The cremator is also cleaned thoroughly between each use, making sure that there is no mixing of ashes. Trained, professional morticians oversee the whole process.
Direct cremation tends to be a lot cheaper than a traditional funeral, as it doesn’t include most of the expensive formalities, like floral tributes and hearses. Aura’s direct cremations start at £1,095, which is less than half of the cost of the average UK funeral last year, according to SunLife.
