With an Aura unattended cremation, we collect the person who has died from where they’ve passed away and bring them into our care at state-of-the-art mortuary facilities.
From there, we bring them to the crematorium privately, words of respect will be spoken by the attendant and the cremation will take place shortly after.
If you’d like an elegant and concise cremation but feel you need the opportunity to see your loved one off at the crematorium, Aura also offers the option of an attended direct cremation service.
We offer a 10-minute service for up to 15 attendees, or a 40-minute service for as many people as can be held by the crematorium chapel.
Thousands of families across the UK trust Aura for our compassionate approach, affordable pricing and dedication to taking care of every detail. We’ve been independently rated by over 1,000 families, and as a result, we are the highest rated national ‘Cremation Services’ provider on Trustpilot.
