Aura is an industry leading and recognised provider of funeral plans. We are the only plan provider with two five-star-rated plans by Fairer Finance, and we are the top-rated provider on Trustpilot, with a score of 4.9/5 stars. But our plans are not only highly rated; they are secure: Aura is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and our plans are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), meaning your money is safe with us too.
Aura was founded by Paul Jameson after he was given a motor-neurone-disease diagnosis in 2017. When he couldn’t find an option out there for him that would help him sort things out for his family, he decided to solve the problem by creating the solution himself. Our family-run ethos truly allows us to say “from our family to yours”, because Paul would not want to provide you with service that he wouldn’t want for his own family.
The Welsh capital, Cardiff, is a vital economic, cultural and political centre in the United Kingdom, playing host to the Welsh Senedd (Parliament) and the Principality Arena (one of the very largest in the UK). Aura is also proud to call it home, extending its funeral plans to families in the Cardiff area, including in Barry, Pontyclun, Tonypandy and Blackwood.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Wales, including Aberystwyth, Bangor, Barry, Caerphilly, Llanelli, Newport, South Wales, Swansea, and Wrexham.

An Aura funeral plan in Cardiff works like this: You will select a ‘Nominated Representative’ who will be our point of contact. When you’ve passed away, they’ll notify us straight away. We will also have given them a handy guide as soon as you purchased your plan which explains everything they need to do. We will then use the money set aside in trust to pay for all of your funeral expenses.
We know all too well the hardship that suddenly having to fund a funeral can cause any family, especially while grieving the loss of a loved one. We hope it brings some comfort to know that we can offer a funeral plan in Cardiff starting from £1,595. According to SunLife, this is less than half of last year’s average cost of a UK funeral, which was £4,141. Funeral plans can help your family to avoid unexpected expense.
In a word: ‘Yes’. Families are more than welcome to be there in person for a ceremony in Cardiff. The primary difference between an attended and an unattended service is that the family has the choice to arrange either a religious or secular service. Depending on the type of service, it could be led by either a minister or a secular celebrant, whom we can help the family to find. Our services last between 15 and 45 minutes.
When someone close to us passes away, we are faced with a lot of daunting administrative tasks. For many, organising their funeral is one of them. Cremation is not legally possible until certain legal procedures are completed, and paperwork is obtained. But don’t worry: our diligent Angel Team is here to ensure that the particulars are taken care of, and they can assist your family as much or as little as you need with the paperwork after you’ve passed away.
No two funerals are alike, and each one has many different aspects that need to be coordinated. As a result, it’s unwise to provide a standard timeframe to you at the outset. You can rest assured that we will always ensure that your family is kept updated as frequently as possible.
