Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Barnstaple.
With North Devon's stunning and award-winning coastline, it's no surprise that so much of the area is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. What you may not know, though, is that North Devon is also a home for Aura, the UK's top-rated direct cremation service provider.
Aura is a family-run company that provides the UK’s top-rated direct cremation services, whether they’re needed now or in the future. With our cremations, there are no hearses or pallbearers; instead we offer a simple, affordable direct cremation to families throughout Barnstaple, with an optional service at North Devon Crematorium.
From the busier hustle and bustle of Barnstaple and Ilfracombe to the quieter villages of Witheridge, Umberleigh, North Molton, Chulmleigh and Barbrook, Aura's family-run funeral services are available to all.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Devon, including Exeter, Oldbury, Plymouth, Taunton 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.

If your loved one wouldn't have wanted to cause any bother for others, or put themselves at the centre of attention, then a Direct Cremation could be the right option for them. It may comfort you to know that this is an increasingly preferred type of ceremony in the UK, as more and more people are deciding that a traditional funeral with floral tributes and a hearse doesn't reflect who they are. If you think it would be best, we can arrange one in Barnstaple for your loved one, including escorting them to the crematorium, the ceremony, and the return of their ashes to you. If you would prefer, we can arrange for them to be scattered directly at the crematorium's garden of remembrance. Whether attended or fully unattended, this ceremony provides an understated and respectful commemoration for your loved one.
We'd be pleased to talk to you about your options over the phone, so that we can give you a precise quote. It might make things just a little bit easier to know that this type of ceremony is often significantly cheaper than other kinds of funeral. And if there is anything we can do to ease the financial strain at this time, we will be sure to try: An Aura funeral could cost less than half of the average cost of a UK funeral, and we could provide this type of service for you in Barnstaple starting at £1,095.
With things like floral tributes and funeral processions left to the side, there is plenty of space for your wishes and for your loved one's spirit to shine through. We would be honoured to help you organise something memorable and that does your loved one justice. Some people like to make sure that the celebrant has some meaningful words to say about them before at the beginning of the ceremony, while others want to pick one of their loved one's favourite songs to escort them into the crematorium before the ceremony begins. We would be delighted to hear from you over the telephone so that together we can plan the kind of ceremony your loved one would have wanted.
Each funeral that we work on is different and special in its own way, and that can influence how long things take to deliver. Once we have had a chance to talk together over the phone, we would be glad to share a more specific timescale with you. In the meantime, as a general guideline, one of our more customised funerals could be arranged in Barnstaple within a two-week period, but this will vary depending on the kind of funeral being planned. As ever, you are more than welcome to call us any time you need for an update on things, and we will always do our best to make sure you are regularly informed of our progress.
We want to let you know that we are just a phone call away if you ever need us for any reason. We have an experienced team of Angels ready and waiting who will not leave you handling things alone, if that's not what you want; they know just the right questions to ask, and they will listen to you. Should you need, they are there to take the hassle of organising things out of your hands, creating the space you need to be in the moment.
