Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Northumberland.
With its stunning and dramatic landscapes that allow peeks at the famous aurora borealis, Northumberland offers a breathtaking look into England's hidden nature. But Northumberland is home to more than this, some of the most prominent residents of Northumberland include the British Prime Minister, Charles 2nd Earl Grey, and Aura - the UK's top-rated direct cremation service provider.
Aura is a family-run company that provides the UK’s top-rated direct cremation services, whether they’re needed now or in the future. With our cremations, there are no hearses or pallbearers; instead we offer a simple, affordable direct cremation to families throughout Northumberland, with an optional service at Northumberland Crematorium.

It depends on what kind of a person they were in life: we find that Direct Cremation suits those who would have wanted to put their own spin on things, and who would not have liked the typical formalities associated with other funerals. If your loved one wouldn't have been comfortable being carried by pallbearers or having their name written in large floral tributes, then fortunately, this ceremony doesn't include them. We could easily arrange one in Northumberland for you: We would bring your loved one from where they are resting to the crematorium for their ceremony. Then, afterwards, we can either scatter their ashes on your behalf in the crematorium's garden of peace, or we can return them to you at home personally, as you prefer. It provides a special, concise and dignified way to bid farewell to your loved one.
We see the anxiety that the financial burden of a funeral can cause all to often, so we hope that it brings just a little bit of comfort to know that this kind of ceremony is normally a good deal cheaper than other kinds. The average cost of a British funeral could be more than twice what you could end up paying with Aura, and we could organise one in Northumberland for you starting from £1,095. Just as soon as we have had an opportunity to talk things over with you, we will be able to provide you with a direct quote.
It is our goal to honour the memory of your loved one exactly on their terms, and in as personal and meaningful a way as possible. Each funeral is unique, and there are all kinds of ways in which we can bring your loved one's personality to the fore in the ceremony. For instance, if you think it would be right, you could provide the celebrant who will oversee the ceremony with some special words written for them, which can be read as the ceremony begins. You might also want to make sure that your loved one has a coffin that expresses something of who they were in life, whether through its materials, design, colour or the images or themes you could choose to adorn it with. Whatever your idea or suggestion, we'd be very pleased to hear it: if you give us a call we can work together to organise something that does your loved one justice.
We will always work to deliver everything as quickly as we can without settling for lower quality, and we will always make sure that you know what is happening at every stage. Because each funeral is different, they can take different lengths of time to arrange fully. We could get everything sorted for you in Northumberland within 2 weeks, if you'd like one of our more bespoke ceremonies, but of course others may take longer. Once we've had the chance to talk together, we will then be much better able to offer some specifics on a timeline.
There are many things that can make life difficult during a period when we suddenly need to plan a funeral for a loved one: perhaps we've never had to do it before, or perhaps the circumstances surrounding it were unexpected. At Aura, we have seen a vast array of different stories, and we want you to know that you are not alone in dealing with such difficulties. Our experienced and caring team of Angels -- our funeral planners -- are there to listen to you and to make sure that your loved one's funeral is one that they would be proud of. If you'd like, they will do all of the legwork, lifting the logistical hassle off of your shoulders and planning everything according to your specifications. We want you to be able to be there in the moment with friends and family, without having to worry about more admin.
