Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Swansea.
Aura is the top-rated provider on Trustpilot of cremation services, with a score of 4.9/5 stars. That’s due to our family-run ethos, and our incredible team of funeral arrangers, whom we call the Angels. They embody our people-centred way of doing things, ensuring that the service we offer never falls short of the standards that our father-and-son founders, Paul and Dave, would want for their own family.
Aura was founded by Paul Jameson with his son Dave and their friend, Ben, after Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease back in 2017. Their journey as a family with the struggle of terminal illness has informed their approach to offering direct cremation services. They want to make sure that you and your family have a low-cost alternative to a traditional funeral without any unnecessary expense or fuss. Aura proudly offers that promise to you, along with a commitment to 5-star, compassionate service.
Swansea is the proud seat of the UK’s copper-smelting heritage, formerly being known by the nickname ‘Copperopolis’. Swansea boasts the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in Wales, and the Mumbles Pier. Aura is also proud to call Swansea home, offering its family-run direct cremation services to families in Swansea and beyond, including Morriston, Pontarddulais and Penllergaer.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Wales, including Aberystwyth, Bangor, Barry, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Llanelli, Newport, South Wales, and Wrexham.
Whilst we proudly serve families in Swansea and across the UK, please note that Aura is not physically based in Swansea. 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.

Your loved one will be brought carefully to the crematorium in a private ambulance for their direct cremation. If you’d like, music that was dear to your loved one in life can play as they are carried into the crematorium chapel and set upon the catafalque. Shortly after this, their cremation will happen.
It’s our mission to offer a low-cost alternative to a traditional funeral which helps you and your family to avoid needless expense. Aura’s unattended direct cremation services in Swansea start at [£DC_AN], while our attended services start at [£IN_AN]. Compared to the national average funeral price last year of £4,285 (according to information given by SunLife), our unattended direct cremation price is more than 50% cheaper.
An attended direct cremation is very similar in format to an unattended one, with the only main difference being the attendance of guests. The family will choose a celebrant or a religious minister to create and oversee a ceremony based on the life of their loved one. We can offer a service that lasts between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the option you choose.
It’s important to bear in mind that certain legal formalities need to be taken care of before a cremation is allowed to occur. Our Angel team will be on hand to provide as much assistance to your family as they want, and they know that the level of support needed can differ from family to family. Rest assured that, however you’d like to handle things, the Angels will make sure that everything is in place when it needs to be.
Each funeral is different, which means that it’s best to avoid providing an estimate at the outset. You can trust us to work as fast as we can without compromising on the quality of the care we provide. We will always update you every step of the way, so that you’re never left in the dark.
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 Swansea 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.
