Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Oxfordshire.
At Aura, we pride ourselves on offering Oxfordshire families an affordable and respectful alternative to conventional funerals. Our family-run ethos and dedicated team of funeral arrangers, known as the Aura Angels, reflect our people-centred approach. They uphold the same high standards that our founder Paul Jameson, and his son Dave (our CEO) would want for their own family, ensuring that our service is always compassionate and reliable. Our commitment to transparent, high-quality service is reflected in our 4.9/5 stars on Trustpilot, as well as in our recognition as award-winners at the 2024 International Compliance Association Awards. We’re honoured to be a top-rated provider of direct cremation, serving families with integrity and empathy across Oxfordshire.
Oxfordshire, with its skyline adorned by spires and domes, grand estates, and picturesque meadows, possesses an almost whimsical charm. It is a place where many families are choosing the simplicity of direct cremation over traditional funeral services. Aura is proud to service Oxfordshire by providing compassionate, low-cost direct cremation services throughout the county, including in Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, and Witney. With Aura, families can honour their loved ones’ wishes with an attended or unattended cremation in a dignified, straightforward manner, without the complexities of a traditional funeral.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Oxfordshire, including Oxford.
Whilst we proudly serve families in Oxfordshire and across the UK, please note that Aura is not physically based in Oxfordshire. We cannot guarantee that the cremation will take place in this specific area, unless it has been requested at an additional cost. If you have questions, our friendly team is here to help.
As a family-run company, it's exactly what we'd want for members of our own family. We deliver on the promises we make to our customers, whether it's in the service that we provide to you or the practices in which we care for your loved one behind the scenes.

A direct cremation is a straightforward cremation without the ceremonial elements of a traditional funeral. Many families in Oxfordshire are choosing Aura's direct cremation services because they offer an affordable, dignified option that allows families to plan a personal memorial in their own way.
Aura's direct cremation service starts at £1,195, making it an economical choice compared to the £4,285 cost of a traditional funeral according to SunLife. This cost-effective option gives families in Oxfordshire the chance to honour their loved ones without the financial burden of a full funeral service.
Yes, with Aura’s direct cremation service, families in Oxfordshire have the option of an attended or unattended cremation. This flexibility allows loved ones to be present if desired, ensuring a respectful farewell that suits each family's needs. Our attended options are available at local crematoria from £2,095.
When you choose Aura, our team will collect the person who has died from the location of passing and transport them to our secure facilities. We arrange for the cremation, whether attended or unattended, to be conducted at a local crematorium whenever possible. Aura then arranges for ashes to be returned to families within 21 days for a nominal fee, offering a simple yet caring process that respects every family’s wishes. As an alternative, they can be scattered at the crematorium’s own Garden of Remembrance, if preferred.
Aura’s commitment to affordability, transparency, and compassionate care has made us a preferred provider in Oxfordshire. Our direct cremation services are designed to provide peace of mind to families seeking a dignified alternative to traditional funerals, supported by our dedicated Aura Angels every step of the way.
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 Oxfordshire 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.
