A Direct cremation is a simple, no-fuss funeral service without the ceremonial elements of a traditional funeral. In Maidenhead, Aura offers this dignified option to families who value affordability and simplicity while providing the flexibility to plan a personal memorial later.
Aura’s direct cremations start at £1,195, offering a cost-effective alternative to the £4,285 cost of a traditional funeral as highlighted in SunLife. For those who wish to have a small, intimate gathering, we also offer attended direct cremation services starting from [£DC-IN].
Ashes can be hand-delivered to your family within 21 days for a nominal fee or scattered at the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance at no additional cost, providing a respectful resting place for your loved one.
Yes, it is possible to arrange a direct cremation yourself, but some may find the process to be complex and time-consuming. Working with Aura simplifies the entire process. Our expert team known as the Aura Angels are here to help as much or as little as you would like. They handle everything with care and professionalism, giving you a person to lean on during this difficult time.
Aura was founded by Paul Jameson, who wanted to create a funeral service that prioritises family care and affordability. Today, Paul, alongside his son Dave and close friend Ben, leads Aura with a commitment to providing respectful, compassionate services to every family we serve.
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 Maidenhead 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.
