Today, Paul, his son Dave, and their close friend Ben lead the Aura team, ensuring that every family that turns to us is treated with the understanding and thoughtfulness they deserve.

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 Barnsley 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.
