Sherborne, a charming market town in Dorset, is known for its historic abbey, stunning architecture, and strong sense of community. For families in Sherborne and nearby areas like Yeovil, Milborne Port, and Wincanton, Aura offers a modern, affordable alternative to traditional funerals. Our direct cremation services provide a simple, respectful cremation without the need for a formal ceremony, allowing families to say goodbye in their own personal way.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Dorset, including Bournemouth, Bridport, Christchurch, Dorchester, Ferndown, Poole, Shaftesbury and Weymouth.
Whilst we proudly serve families in Sherborne and across the UK, please note that Aura is not physically based in Sherborne. 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.

A direct cremation is a simple, no-fuss cremation without a traditional funeral service. Aura provides this service in Sherborne and surrounding areas, ensuring a respectful farewell without the added costs and formalities of a traditional funeral. Families can later hold a personal celebration of life in their own way.
Aura’s direct cremation services start from £1,195, making it one of the most affordable choices compared to the average cost of a traditional funeral. According to SunLife, that average cost last year was £4,285, which is more than double our starting price. Our transparent pricing means there are no hidden fees, giving families in Sherborne peace of mind.
Yes, we offer both unattended direct cremation and attended options in Sherborne. If you wish to be present, our attended services are available at a local crematorium from £2,095, providing an opportunity for a simple yet meaningful farewell.
Following the cremation, Aura ensures that the ashes are hand-delivered to the family within 21 days for a nominal fee, allowing them to have an ash scattering ceremony, if they so choose. Alternatively, they can be scattered at the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance at no extra cost.
Arranging a direct cremation with Aura is straightforward. Simply contact our team, and we will take care of everything, from collection to cremation. Our dedicated Aura Angels provide guidance and support at every step, ensuring a smooth and dignified process.
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 Sherborne 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.
