A direct cremation is a straightforward, low-cost option that avoids the need for a traditional funeral service. In Wigan, Aura’s service includes all the necessary elements for the cremation, from transportation in a private ambulance to the crematorium, to the cremation itself. Within 21 days, we can either hand-deliver the ashes back to you for a nominal fee at home, or we can scatter them for you in the crematorium’s beautiful Garden of Remembrance.
Yes, Aura offers both attended and unattended direct cremation services in Wigan. Families can choose to attend the cremation at a local crematorium if they want something more personal. Our attended services start at £2,095, and we can help you to personalise things with the services of a local celebrant or religious minister.

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.
