Direct cremation is a straightforward cremation without a traditional funeral service. In Windermere, Aura ensures a seamless process, arranging the collection of your loved one, a dignified cremation at a trusted facility, and the return of their ashes to your family within 21 days. You can then arrange a celebration of life for the person who has died as you see fit, at a later date.
Yes. While our standard direct cremation is unattended, we offer attended options at local crematoria in Windermere and nearby areas. This allows families to say goodbye in a simple yet meaningful way.
Aura’s direct cremation services start at £1,195, helping you to keep your funeral costs down. In fact, this makes our starting price less than 50% of last year’s average funeral cost, which SunLife put at £4,285. Our pricing is clear and transparent, with no hidden fees.
After the cremation, ashes can either be hand-delivered to your family for a small fee or scattered in the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance at no additional cost. Many families in Windermere choose to scatter ashes in a meaningful place, such as along the lake or in a favourite scenic spot. You could even arrange an ash scattering ceremony as you see fit.
