Our Direct Cremation Process

1. We're ready to listen

If a loved one of yours has recently died, or if they are nearing the end of their life, we'll gladly help you to make the arrangements. The first step is to give us a call.

2. Collecting your loved one

We don't need to collect your loved one immediately, so please take your time in saying your goodbyes. Once you're ready for us, we'll bring them into our care.

3. Supporting you and your family

Whilst your loved one is resting safely in our state-of-the-art mortuary facilities, we'll guide you through all the legal paperwork, ensuring the cremation can go ahead smoothly.

4. A chance to say farewell

We know that it's important for some families to say goodbye at a ceremony before the cremation. If you would like, we can help you to arrange a simple, low-cost ceremony at a local crematorium.

5. The cremation

For those without a ceremony, we'll make sure to let you know at what time the cremation will take place, so that you can have a moment of quiet reflection to yourself.

6. Your loved one's ashes

Depending on what you'd like, we can either hand-deliver the ashes to you at home within 21 days. Or we can scatter them respectfully on your behalf at the crematorium's own Garden of Remembrance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

What comprises a Direct Cremation?: A Direct Cremation is comprised of a ceremony that is not normally attended by guests. However, if you feel that you would like to be there at the ceremony with others who were dear to your loved one, we can easily arrange this. When Aura organises this kind of ceremony in New Forest, it normally works like this: your special person will be collected and taken to the crematorium. There will be a cremation ceremony, and then, afterwards, we will hand-deliver their ashes to you personally, or have them scattered across the crematorium's own garden, as you prefer. This type of funeral is ideal for someone who would not have wanted to make a fuss, either of themselves, or for anyone else, because usually they forgo typical funeral formalities, like pallbearers or a funeral procession. For that reason, they also provide a more personal alternative to the traditional format, meaning that there is more room for the expression of your loved one's uniqueness in the ceremony.

What is the price range for a Direct Cremation in New Forest?: Given that there are quite a few different funeral options, as well as different ways of tailoring the service to your loved one's needs, the price can vary. But, it may make things just a little easier to deal with knowing that Aura's funerals can be priced at less than half of the average cost of a UK funeral. The best way to get accurate pricing information is to discuss your needs with us over the phone, so that we can get a sense of what you are looking for. As a general guide, we could arrange one in New Forest starting from the price of £1,195. We would be very glad to hear from you should you have questions, or need a direct quote.

Can I tailor the service in New Forest to my loved one's preferences?: If there is anything Aura can do to help make the ceremony more memorable and relevant to your loved one, we would be delighted to assist you. Some people find it important to introduce personal touches into the day in order to make sure that their respects are being paid in an appropriate way. For instance, you might want to make sure that the song which plays as your loved one arrives at the crematorium is one of their favourites, or if it would help to bring you closure, we could arrange for a final viewing of them at a chapel of rest before the ceremony begins.

Can Aura quickly organise this type of funeral for my loved one in New Forest?: We at Aura understand that getting what you need in a timely manner is incredibly important, so we will always work as diligently as we can, and be fully open with you about our progress. Different funerals take different lengths of time to deliver; we could arrange this kind of ceremony in New Forest within two weeks, but it will depend on your needs. If you ever have need of a specific update outside of your regular communication with you, we would welcome your call.

Will Aura be there for me as I try to plan everything out for my loved one in New Forest?: Aura guarantees that you won't be left to navigate this time on your own. The task of planning a funeral is daunting for all kinds of reasons -- perhaps the need arose unexpectedly, or you may never have organised one before. But, regardless of your situation, our specialised team of Angels stands ready to offer their support. It is their job to make sure that you have as much or as little support as you require with the legwork of planning things, allowing you to be in the moment and focus on more important things with peace of mind.

Where will the cremation take place?: We provide a nationwide direct cremation service, working with a trusted network of crematoria and care centres across England, Scotland and Wales. While we do serve families in New Forest and the surrounding area, the cremation may not take place locally as part of our standard £1,195 package.

To keep our service simple and affordable, we arrange the cremation based on availability within our wider network. This helps avoid delays and allows us to offer the best possible value.

If it's important for you to choose a specific crematorium, we do offer that option for an additional cost. While we always aim to keep things as close to home as possible, your loved one may be cared for at one of our partner facilities a little further away.

No matter where the cremation takes place, your loved one will be treated with the utmost care, dignity and respect. If you'd like to discuss location options in more detail, our team is here to help.
