Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Preston.
Aura is a family-run company with a reputation for compassionate and affordable cremation services. Paul Jameson founded us in 2019 alongside his son, Dave (our CEO) and a family friend, Ben (our COO), after he found out that he has motor neurone disease. Paul’s confrontation with his mortality, and the difficulty he went through in end-of-life planning, led him to establish Aura to help other families face those same problems. Our 4.9/5 stars on Trustpilot – making us the top-rated ‘cremation services’ provider on the platform, is testament to our family-first ethos; we proudly offer our direct cremation services from our family to yours.

A direct cremation is a simple, no-fuss alternative to a traditional funeral. In Preston, Aura’s direct cremation includes collecting the deceased, and bringing them to the crematorium in a private ambulance. After the cremation, we can hand-deliver the ashes to the family for a nominal fee, or we can scatter them for you at the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance. This approach allows for a dignified farewell while keeping costs manageable.
Yes, Aura offers both attended and unattended direct cremations in Preston. Families who wish to attend can arrange for a small, private ceremony, starting at £1,895. We can help you to find the local services of a celebrant or a religious minister who can work with you to design a ceremony around the life of the person who has died, making the memorial personalised and unique.
Aura’s direct cremations are designed to be cost-effective, offering significant savings compared to traditional funerals. They’re available from £1,095, which, we’re proud to say, makes them less than half of the average UK funeral cost of £4,141, according to SunLife.
Once the arrangements are in place, direct cremations in Preston are typically completed quickly. Aura ensures that the cremation process is conducted efficiently, but please understand that we can’t give you an estimate ahead of time as far as how long it will take is concerned; each funeral is different, and the delivery time may vary in each case. Please don’t worry about this; we will always keep you updated of our activity and progress.
Aura’s compassionate approach and affordability make us a leading choice for direct cremation services in Preston. Our high ratings, family-run ethos, and commitment to personal care ensure that families in Preston receive a service that respects their wishes while easing the financial burden. With both attended and unattended options, we offer flexibility to suit your family’s needs.
