If you would like to start to get things organised for the final period of your life, and what happens beyond that, purchasing a funeral plan could be a really useful thing to do. The main point of it is to make sure that your own intentions and wishes are recorded for your ceremony, meaning that it will happen exactly as you would like it to and that it is all paid for in advance. This can have the added impact of protecting your family from any unexpected costs, or from making decisions on your behalf that they may not be comfortable making. The money you spend on your plan goes into an independently managed, protected trust, locking in today's price, and meaning that it is ready to be used for when the time comes. You can either pay everything in one go, or you can pay in instalments, depending on what you would prefer. The big benefit is that you can take control of your legacy, ensuring that things occur exactly as you would want them to, giving you peace of mind and letting you focus on enjoying life.
The thought of arranging end-of-life plans can often seem overwhelming for lots of reasons, with the financial aspect being a major concern for many. We hope that it brings some relief to know that, regardless of whether you live in Kent or elsewhere, our funeral plans start at a modest £1,695. This is considerably below the UK average funeral cost of £4,141, as highlighted in the SunLife 2024 Cost of Dying Report, amounting to less than half. While every funeral varies, the final cost will depend on your specific requirements. If you're ready to discuss your specific needs or to get a direct quote, we'd be very pleased to hear from you via phone call or feel free to visit our website. Your enquiries are always welcome.
Offering full flexibility to you is something that we strive for, and it's one of the key benefits of choosing one of our plans. It means that, after you've made your purchase, should you reconsider your decision and find that you want to cancel, you can be sure that there will be no incurred fees or delays. Modifications to your service are straightforward to manage; additional costs will only arise if you opt for an upgrade. If you've got any questions about the flexibility of our plans or would like to make amendments to an existing one, you only need to give us a call, whether you're in Kent or anywhere else in Britain.
Our direct-cremation plans are well suited to those in Kent who are looking for something a bit simpler and without the traditional formalities of most other funerals. So if you wouldn't be comfortable with things like floral tributes and funeral processions, one of our funeral plans might work for you. The process is simple and designed to be seamless: When you've purchased a plan, you'll designate a responsible person to be our point of contact after you're gone, and we'll provide them with an information pack on the steps to follow once you've passed away so that they won't be left in the dark. They will then inform us that it's time to apply the prepaid plan and handle your ceremony. Where you've asked for a ceremony without any guests, we will be there to help your representative with the legal paperwork. However, if guests are expected, we will also coordinate with them to put the ceremony itself together.
Aura, a family-run business, came into being through the vision of Paul Jameson, our founder, following his diagnosis with motor neurone disease. His ambition was to provide a solution that empowers people to manage their legacies more effectively. This vision has led to a more people-focused ethos within our work, and he continues to run things with the support of his son Dave, and Ben, a family friend. For those wishing to reach out, our passionate and empathetic support team is at your disposal in Kent, offering guidance to organise a funeral that honours your wishes. Recognising the value of reliable and compassionate service is at our core, and we are ready to assist you anywhere across Britain.
