A direct cremation is a simple service without the ceremonial elements of a traditional funeral. In Dorchester, Aura arranges a respectful, affordable cremation, allowing families to commemorate their loved one’s memory while foregoing the complexity and cost of a full service. We’ll bring the person who has died from one of our state-of-the-art local care centres to the crematorium via a private ambulance for their cremation. Within 21 days, we can then either return the ashes directly to you at home, or we can scatter them on your behalf at the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance. Please note that a nominal fee will apply to hand-delivery.
Aura's direct cremation services begin at £1,095, making us a budget-friendly choice that is well below the average cost of a traditional funeral, according to SunLife, which they put at £4,141. This affordable option provides families in Dorchester with a straightforward and dignified alternative.
Yes, Aura offers both attended and unattended direct cremation options. Whether you are in Dorchester or nearby areas, families can choose to attend a simple service or opt for a private and unattended ceremony based on their preferences.
