Private cremation service local to you

Crematorium interior with full seating

Our Wonderfully Imagined plan allows you to have a low-cost attended direct cremation with a simple service at one of our partnered crematoria.

A trusted service from our family to yours

“After I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, I started thinking about my funeral. I didn’t want my family to spend thousands of pounds on a high-end coffin or expensive limousines, but I also wanted high-quality service. The most important thing for me was that I wanted to know that my family would be in trusted hands when the time came. That’s why me, my son and an expert team created Aura — to provide exceptional service at a low cost. No less than what I’d want for my own family.”

Paul Jameson, Founder of Aura

How Your Money Stays Safe

When you purchase one of our funeral plans, your money is placed into a secure, independently managed trust. This is kept safe until it’s needed to cover your funeral or to refund you if you change your mind.

For added peace of mind, all our plans are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). So, in the unlikely event we couldn’t fulfil your plan, you could be eligible for compensation.

At Aura, we’re committed to making sure your money is protected every step of the way, so you can plan with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

To see our full list of FAQs, please click here.

Aura is the only direct cremation funeral plan provider to have all available funeral plans rated five stars by independent consumer champions Fairer Finance and The Times Money Mentor. Our five-star rating is due to several reasons, including guaranteed cost inclusions such as cremation fees, free hand-delivery of the ashes to a chosen person, no extra charges for collection, free cancellation and no expiry clause.

We offer flexible payment plans so you can secure your plan today and pay over a longer term. You can either pay in full or spread the cost of your plan over 12 or 24 months.  The cost of your plan will stay the same no matter how you pay.

Just let us know. If you opt for an attended cremation and have already told us your preferred location, you can still change it. If you haven’t selected a preferred location then your nominated representative will choose one after you’ve died. If you opt for an unattended cremation, the location of the crematorium will be at Aura’s discretion.

Purchasing a funeral plan guarantees your funeral costs when you die, which means no matter how high funeral costs might rise in the future, your family have nothing to pay when the time comes. Purchasing a funeral plan brings great peace of mind to both you and your family knowing that, when a difficult time comes, there is one less thing to worry about.

Our attended direct cremation plan offers the sentiment of a traditional funeral, without many of the unnecessary and expensive costs. Unlike a traditional funeral, there are no expensive hearses or limousines, or high-end coffins. Our team will take the person who has died to the crematorium privately, and we respectfully lay them to rest in the chapel before the family arrives. All of our funeral plans include a simple, wood-effect coffin, but your family are welcome to change this when the time comes if they would like (however please note this is not included in the cost of the plan, so additional charges for this will apply).
