A funeral plan from Aura means everything is arranged and paid for in advance, so your family doesn’t face difficult decisions or rising funeral costs later on. Our plans include collection, care, cremation, a simple coffin, and hand‑delivery of ashes to your chosen address in Bideford or anywhere else in Devon, giving you peace of mind when it matters most.
Families across North Devon rate Aura highly for care and clarity. We hold a 4.9/5 stars rating on Trustpilot and are the only UK provider of prepaid cremation plans with a 5‑star rating from Fairer Finance. Our exceptional service has also been recognised with two UK Customer Experience Awards, including ‘Customers at the Heart of Everything’ and ‘Best Customer Service’. Learn more about Aura’s awards.
With an Aura unattended cremation, we collect the person who has died from where they’ve passed away and bring them into our care at state-of-the-art mortuary facilities.
From there, we bring them to the crematorium privately, words of respect will be spoken by the attendant and the cremation will take place shortly after.
If you’d like a simple service whilst giving your loved ones the opportunity to say goodbye at the crematorium, Aura also offers the option of an attended direct cremation service.
We offer a smaller, more informal service for fewer attendees, or a larger service for as many people as can be held by the crematorium chapel.

We’ll place your money into a secure, independently-managed trust, so that it’s ready to be used for when the time comes.
After you’ve died, we’ll bring you into our care and support your loved ones through the initial paperwork with patience and compassion.
We’ll let your loved ones know the date of your cremation, and on the day, transport you privately to the crematorium for the cremation to take place.
Within 21 days of the cremation, we’ll arrange to hand-deliver your ashes to your chosen person at no additional cost, or we’ll scatter them on their behalf.
When you buy one of our plans, we place your money into a secure trust. That trust is independently managed, and it means your money is kept to the side, safe and sound, ready to be used when the time comes.
We can access it in order to activate your plan when it’s needed to pay for everything, or in order to give you a refund if you decide to cancel.
Our funeral plans are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and they are also protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This reassures you that, in the highly unlikely scenario where Aura is not able to action your plan, you may be eligible for compensation.
Those you leave behind will be looked after by a team that truly cares. As a family-run company, it’s exactly what we’d want for members of our own family. Don’t just take our word for it; see how we compare to the others.
