Prepaid funeral plans are a thoughtful way to manage your funeral arrangements in advance, ensuring your family have nothing to pay when the time comes. By choosing a plan, you lock in today’s prices, protecting against future cost increases that might come about due to inflation. This can significantly ease the financial burden on your family during a difficult time. You also set details into place and make your wishes known, alleviating guesswork for your family when it comes to planning your farewell. With Aura, you can pay in a lump sum or instalments and your money is stored in a secure trust until it's needed.
The price of a funeral plan depends on the type of service you want, making price estimation difficult. However, if you're looking for a direct cremation you will be pleased to hear that we can offer that here at Aura. Our starting price is £1,695 which is much less than the national average funeral cost as suggested by findings in the 2024 SunLife Cost of Dying Report. As well as being more affordable, we also have transparent pricing. There are no hidden fees and all essential services are provided, offering reassurance to you and your family. If you are interested in setting up a plan, our team is happy to take your call. Alternatively, you can request a quote through the website.
No there is no limit, you can make as many changes as you wish. Our team is on hand to help you organise your details whenever you need to. It's a quick and simple process that is completely free. Making any adjustments to your plan with Aura and cancelling is always completely free. If you did change your plan to one of our other options, like adding a service with guests, it could impact the overall cost, so keep that in mind.
If you are looking for a funeral that doesn't involve the expensive formalities a traditional service contains, a direct cremation could be what you're looking for. With Aura, this can include an intimate service with guests at a local crematorium in the Lake District or it can be a simple cremation with no guests. You can purchase online or over the phone and once your funeral plan is established, you can be confident that everything will be managed respectfully and efficiently. You'll have the chance to designate a trusted person, such as a family member or friend, as your representative who will let us know when you pass. We aim to simplify the process for them by assisting with paperwork and organising the details of a service, should you choose one. Our team is ready to help whenever your family needs us.
Aura's approach to direct cremation services comes from a place of genuine care for every client we serve. Quality is at the top of our priorities to ensure you and your family feel supported and respected. Our commitment to this compassionate service is recognised by a five-star rating from independent experts at Fairer Finance and reflected in our 4.9-star rating on Trustpilot. Aura was founded by Paul Jameson, who aimed to challenge the stigma surrounding death, his son Dave and family friend Ben. We are more than just a funeral service provider; we are a family-run partner dedicated to helping you arrange a meaningful farewell.
