A prepaid funeral plan offers a thoughtful and secure way to arrange your final farewell in advance. By choosing to pay today, you lock in current prices, shielding yourself from possible, future cost increases. More than a financial decision, this plan allows you to record your last wishes, ensuring your funeral reflects your preferences. Opting for a prepaid plan isn't just a benefit to you; it’s a considerate gift to your loved ones. It spares your family from making tough decisions and facing financial strain during a time of sorrow. Whether you choose monthly instalments or a lump sum, your funds are safely held in an independent trust until needed. With everything arranged, you can truly breathe a sigh of relief, knowing all is taken care of.
When it comes to anticipating funeral costs, SunLife produces a useful resource called the SunLife Cost of Dying Report. Data in their 2024 report suggests that the national average cost of a funeral is about £4,141. However, there are affordable alternatives. Here at Aura, we provide direct cremations that start at just £1,695. This is much lower than the national average and also includes all necessary fees. There will be no hidden charges for you or your family down the line. If you are considering either an unattended or attended direct cremation with Aura, our friendly team is available to discuss your options and help you make an informed decision.
With Aura, you have the freedom to adjust your funeral plan after purchase with no penalties or delays. You can modify details or cancel your plan at any time without any additional charges. Our friendly team is ready to help you with making any changes, ensuring that your plan remains aligned with your wishes, and providing you with peace of mind. However, please note that while changing your plan to include an attended service at a local crematorium in Milton Keynes won't incur a fee, it may increase the overall cost of your plan.
When you set up your direct cremation plan with Aura, we recommend that you assign a trusted person to be our point of contact for your family. They will get a guide to prepare them for what to do when the time comes. When you pass, they simply need to give us a call and we can take you into our care for the cremation. Our team will be on hand to give your family the support they need, whether that's a helping hand with paperwork, someone to talk to or advice on what to do next. If you decide you want a service as a part of your plan, our team can help with that too.
