Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Somerset.
Crematorium location: Sedgemoor Crematorium, Red Ln, Stretcholt, Bridgwater, Somerset, Somerset, TA6 4SR
Renowned for Cheddar Gorge and the apple orchards that produce its famous cider, Somerset offers both seaside beauty and nature's finest greenery. But alongside this, it is also home to Aura, the UK's top-rated prepaid direct cremation plan provider.
Aura is a family-run company that provides the UK’s top-rated direct cremation services, whether they’re needed now or in the future. With our cremations, there are no hearses or pallbearers; instead we offer a simple, affordable direct cremation with an optional low-cost service at Sedgemoor Crematorium.
Aura's prepaid direct cremation services are available to all families in and around Somerset, including Bridgwater, Brean, Highbridge, Cannington, Glastonbury, Weston-super-Mare, Winscome, Taunton and Somerton.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Somerset, including Bath, Bristol, Clevedon, Nailsea, Wellington and Weston Super Mare.
Whilst we proudly serve families in Somerset and across the UK, please note that Aura is not physically based in Somerset. 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. You can read more about our processes. Don't just take our word for it, see how we compare to the others.

A Direct Cremation is a simple and often unattended funeral ceremony that is gaining popularity across the UK. Aura is here in Somerset to facilitate this process for you by collecting your loved one, transporting them to the crematorium, and, following the ceremony, we offer to either hand-deliver their ashes back to you, or scatter them in the crematorium's remembrance garden on your behalf. We find that this kind of funeral is preferred by people who wouldn't have wanted the formalities associated with other funerals, like floral tributes or pallbearers, and by those who would want an alternative option that lets them put their own stamp on things. If you think this kind of description matches your loved one, perhaps this kind of funeral could be right for them -- if you have any questions at all about it, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
While we can't provide a definite cost for you at the outset, it might help you to know that Aura funerals could be priced at less than half of the average cost of a funeral in the UK. Due to the more succinct nature of this type of ceremony, they are usually the most affordable kind of funeral to choose from, and Aura could provide one in Somerset from £1,195. As ever, the best way to get specific information about costings from us would be to give us a call; once we've had a chance to have a chat with you about your options, we'd be very pleased to provide you with a direct quote.
We know how important it is to make sure that any ceremony is as special as possible to the person whom it concerns, and we see that every day. That's why we are determined to help you with any idea that you might have. If you know that you'd like to personalise things, but are a bit unsure of how, we can make a couple of suggestions: many people like to make sure that they can attend the ceremony with family and friends, which we can easily organise, even if this type of funeral is normally unattended. There are others who get a sense of closure from having a final viewing of their loved one at a chapel of rest. Those are just a couple of little ideas, but we'd be very pleased to receive your call if you'd like to discuss anything else that your loved one would have wanted with us.
We always want to arrange this for you as promptly as we can without cutting corners on quality, and you will always be updated every step of the way. It is a little tricky to give you a concrete time frame for this without speaking to you first about what you would like, as different funerals require different lengths of time to arrange. As a general guide, our tailored funerals could be all sorted within two weeks, but planning other types of funeral can take longer. Don't forget that you can always give us a ring if you need any specific updates outside of our regular contact -- we would be very glad to hear from you.
Regardless of where you are in Britain, Aura will give you the support you need during this time. It goes without saying that funeral planning is tough enough at the best of times, especially if it is something that you couldn't see coming, or if this is the first time that you have had to go through this process. But we have a dedicated team on hand, that we call the Angels, who are there to listen to you and put your mind at ease. They will take as much of the stress and hassle of planning things off of your shoulders as you want them to, so that you can feel able to be with family and friends and be in the moment without being distracted by admin.
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 Somerset 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.
