Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Barrow-in-Furness.
Aura was founded by Paul Jameson, his son Dave, and their close friend Ben, driven by a deeply personal mission. After Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2017, he experienced firsthand the emotional and financial challenges that come with end-of-life planning. Determined to provide families with a dignified and affordable alternative to traditional funerals, Paul created Aura—a service designed to remove unnecessary stress and expense while maintaining the utmost care and respect. His vision was simple: to ensure that families in Barrow-in-Furness and beyond could access a compassionate, low-cost cremation service that prioritises people over profit. Today, Aura remains committed to this mission, offering straightforward, high-quality support when it matters most.
