A prepaid funeral plan allows you to arrange and pay for your funeral in advance. With Aura, your plan covers all the necessary costs for a direct cremation, meaning that when the time comes, everything is taken care of. Many residents in Shaftesbury choose this option to avoid rising funeral costs and provide peace of mind for their loved ones.
The price of a funeral plan depends on the level of service chosen and any additional personal touches you may want to include. At Aura, we offer cost-effective plans designed to be affordable, costing significantly less than the £4,285 of a traditional funeral according to SunLife.
Yes! We understand that circumstances and preferences can change over time. With Aura’s funeral plans, you have the flexibility to make modifications or even cancel your plan at any time, ensuring it always reflects your final wishes.
Absolutely. Your money is placed in a secure trust, managed by an independent board of trustees. In the unlikely event that Aura is unable to provide your funeral, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) ensures your money is protected, giving you complete confidence in your plan.
Yes, but a prepaid funeral plan removes the financial and organisational pressures from your loved ones. Without a plan, your family would need to arrange and pay for everything at the time of need, often at a higher cost due to inflation. Many people in Shaftesbury prefer to prearrange their funeral to spare their families from these responsibilities. Planning ahead with Aura means you can take control of your final arrangements while ensuring your family is supported when the time comes.
