Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Thirsk.
Crematorium location: Hambleton Crematorium, Thirsk, Thirsk, Yorkshire, YO7 4SA
A quaint market town in the heart of North Yorkshire, Thirsk is famous for its beautiful Georgian architecture and historic market square. It is perhaps most well-known for being a stone's throw from the North York Moors, but it is also home to Aura - the UK's top-rated direct cremation service 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 to families throughout Thirsk, with an optional service at Hambleton Crematorium.
Aura's family-run funeral services provide peace of mind for families across North Yorkshire, including Thirsk, Sowerby, Helmsley, Kirkbymoorside, Pickering, Kilburn, Dalton, Knayton, Ripon, Boroughbridge and the surrounding areas.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Yorkshire, including Barnsley, Bingley, Bradford, Bramhope, Doncaster, Garforth, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Rotherham, Scarborough, Sheffield and York.
Whilst we proudly serve families in Thirsk and across the UK, please note that Aura is not physically based in Thirsk. 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.

Direct Cremation is becoming increasingly popular across the UK, and we tend to find that it appeals to people who prefer to avoid being the focus of others, and who don't wish for any fuss. This ceremony is notably quiet and straightforward, often proceeding without attendees, though arrangements can be made for you and your relatives to join if desired. In Thirsk, we can manage the entire process, transporting your loved one to the crematorium for their ceremony. Following this, we offer to either return their ashes to you personally at home, or scatter them at the crematorium's local garden of solace on your behalf. Should you feel this approach would suit your loved one, we're here to discuss your needs and help plan a respectful service.
Starting from just £1,195, we can organise a ceremony for you in Thirsk aiming to ease the financial burden that an unexpected funeral can bring. We're aware of the pressures that such costs can add to your finances, so we hope that it makes it just a bit easier to know that an Aura funeral could cost less than half of the average cost of a British funeral. In any case, this kind of ceremony is normally a good deal less expensive than other types of funeral. Each funeral is unique, so for a precise quote tailored to your needs, we would encourage you to get in touch with us so that we can discuss things together.
Assisting you in personalising your loved one's ceremony would be our privilege. Every funeral is as unique as the individual it celebrates, and we offer numerous options to make this possible. Should you wish to customise the ceremony but are unsure where to begin, we can suggest several ideas: For example, arranging a final visit at the chapel of rest is something many find comforting. Additionally, choosing a coffin that reflects your loved one's personality, through its design, colour, or decorations, is another way to honour them in their own way. If you have specific ideas you'd like to realise, we're here to make them happen. We encourage you to reach out to discuss how we can assist you.
We want you to know at the outset that we understand the need for prompt service during this time. We will work efficiently to organise the arrangements for you, making sure our quality is maintained throughout. We will also make sure that regular updates will be provided to you, helping you to avoid any uncertainty. Should you select one of our bespoke services, we aim to manage all the details within 14 days, although some options in Thirsk may take slightly longer. Please remember, the different nature of each funeral can affect the timing. If you'd like to discuss your preferences with us, we'll then be able to offer a more precise timeline for your loved one's service.
You're not alone in facing this difficult time. The worry about honouring your loved one appropriately, especially if this is your first time arranging a funeral, is completely natural. We're here to guide you through any concerns or questions with our wealth of experience. Our team, known affectionately as the Angels, is dedicated to supporting you, taking on the planning responsibilities to ensure you don't have to, if that is what you would like us to do. We'd like to provide a respectful and authentic farewell to your loved one, allowing you to spend precious moments with your family and friends without being distracted by logistics.
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 Thirsk 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.
