Rethinking funerals, putting families first

At Aura, we believe saying goodbye should be simple, personal, and focused on what truly matters to you and your family. Aura was founded by Paul Jameson, his son David and their friend Ben, inspired by Paul’s experience after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Together, they’ve shaped Aura with compassion, transparency, and genuine care at its heart.

Today, David and Ben lead Aura alongside Paul, continuing the vision they built together — and ensuring every family is supported with the same kindness they’d want for their own.

From our family to yours

Being family-run isn’t just part of our story; It’s what guides how we care for every person who turns to us. Aura was founded by Paul Jameson after having to organise his own funeral. He understood how hard that time can be and wanted to create a service built on real care and compassion. We deliver quality customer service, as this is exactly what we would want for our own families.

Learn more about direct cremation

Direct cremation is a simple, dignified option without a funeral service or ceremony at the crematorium. It gives families freedom to remember their loved one in their own way, in their own time. Aura offers both attended and unattended direct cremations. If you’d like to learn more, click the link below.

Are funeral plans recommended?

The consumer champions over at Money Saving Expert says: “Having a prepaid plan in place means those close to you will have less to organise when you die and less (sometimes nothing) to pay towards your funeral.” Our fully regulated plans are designed to give peace of mind to you and your family.
