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 prepaid direct cremation plan provider.

If you're considering getting your end-of-life arrangements in order, purchasing a funeral plan in Barnstaple could be highly beneficial. The essence of such a plan is to set down your specific wishes for the ceremony, ensuring everything is conducted according to your preferences, and that it is fully paid for beforehand. This approach also helps shield your family from any unforeseen expenses or uncomfortable decisions about your funeral. The money you pay is securely placed in a protected, independently managed trust, which locks in the current prices and is ready for use when needed. You have the option to pay all at once or in instalments, providing the flexibility to manage your finances as you see fit. The primary advantage is maintaining control over your legacy, bringing you peace of mind and allowing you to enjoy your remaining time without concern.
We want to acknowledge immediately how much extra financial strain a funeral can add to our lives, even at the best of times; we know it's not easy, but we hope that it makes things a little more bearable to know that our funeral plans start at just £1,695, whether you are in Barnstaple or anywhere else on mainland Britain. That's a fair bit less than the national UK average of £4,141, as suggested by the SunLife 2024 Cost of Dying Report. Keep in mind that the final cost can vary depending on the type of ceremony you desire. We'd welcome to talk to you about any questions or concerns you may have, and we look forward to assisting you with a quote or detailed discussion, should you find that helpful.
We take pride in the flexibility of our funeral plans, which are designed to relieve you of as much hassle as possible. In Barnstaple, you can cancel your plan after payment without incurring any fees or negative consequences. If you need to alter your plan later, such as adding guests to what was initially an unattended ceremony, we can make these changes promptly, and you will only incur additional costs if you opt for an upgrade. Should you have any questions about modifying or cancelling your plan, simply give us a call.
In Barnstaple, you may want to consider our direct cremation plans if traditional funeral elements don't appeal to you. We don't include items such as floral tributes and hearses, catering to those who prefer something a bit simpler and to the point. The process involves appointing a trusted individual who will manage the arrangements when it comes time to put your plan into action. They will receive a comprehensive leaflet detailing the steps to take, ensuring clarity and preparation. Upon their signal, we will initiate your arranged and prepaid plan. If you opt for a private ceremony without attendees, we'll support them mainly with the legal documentation, but if guests are expected, we'll help organise the event details.
Aura was founded by Paul Jameson, who was motivated by his diagnosis of motor neurone disease when he found that there was nothing out there that would help him sort things for his family the way he wanted to. His experience led him to establish a company focused on assisting with end-of-life planning in a compassionate and respectful manner, and that company is Aura. In Barnstaple, we are proud to offer a service recognised for its care and reliability, verified by Fairer Finance as the only provider to achieve two five-star funeral plan ratings. Additionally, our customers have made us the highest-rated cremation services provider on Trustpilot, with a 4.9-star score. Our team is dedicated to helping you arrange a simple cremation that truly reflects your wishes. Please don't hesitate to contact us for assistance.
