Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Heanor.
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 family-run funeral provider designed to remove unnecessary stress and expense while maintaining the utmost care and respect. His vision was simple: to ensure that families in Heanor and beyond could access a compassionate, low-cost cremation service that prioritises people over profit. Today, with a 4.9/5 stars rating on Trustpilot, Aura is one of the highest-rated providers in the UK.
