A trusted service from our family to yours

”After I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, I started thinking about my funeral. I didn't want my family to spend thousands of pounds on a high-end coffin or expensive limousines, but I also wanted high quality service. The most important thing for me was that I wanted to know that my family would be in trusted hands when the time came. That's why me, my son and an expert team created Aura - to provide exceptional service at a low cost. No less than what I'd want for my own family“

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

What kind of benefits come with setting up a prepaid funeral plan?

Securing and paying for a funeral plan in advance offers several comforting advantages. It allows you to lock in today's prices for services that can potentially be more expensive in the future, helping you manage costs effectively. It also lets you arrange the details of your funeral in advance, ensuring that your final wishes are respected and relieving your loved ones of the burden of making tough decisions during a time of grief. Additionally, paying in advance can ease the financial stress on your family, allowing them to focus on supporting each other rather than worrying about funeral expenses. Overall, a prepaid funeral plan for those in Guildford is a thoughtful way to plan ahead, ensuring peace of mind for both you and your family.

Do I have affordable options if I wanted a funeral plan in Guildford?

Yes, Aura provides a low-cost option for those seeking a funeral plan in Guildford. Our starting price for those seeking a simple, direct cremation is £1,695. This is less than half of the national average funeral cost which has been placed at around £4,141 by data in the SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2024. Care and quality are still our top priority, so your farewell will be respectful and meaningful without the large price tag. If you'd like to talk about your options or ask any questions, please give our team a ring and they'll be happy to help.

After buying a prepaid funeral plan in Guildford, what are my options for making adjustments?

Aura's funeral plans are built to accommodate flexibility, so you have the option to make adjustments if you need to. If you need to cancel your plan, you can do so at any time without facing any charges or penalties. Likewise, if you wish to modify your plan, such as switching from an unattended service to a direct cremation with guests at a crematorium in Guildford, we are here to support you. Our friendly team will assist you in adjusting your arrangements, with no additional fees apart from the costs associated with the upgraded service you select.

What can my family expect when my funeral plan needs to be used?

We understand that when someone passes away, loved ones can feel emotional and lost. Our compassionate team is here to help and can expect our full support. When you set up a funeral plan with Aura, you also name a trusted individual, such as a family member or friend, to serve as your representative. This person can let us know you have passed, which will activate your plan. Aura simplifies this process for your representative by handling paperwork and admin tasks that need to be achieved. Also, if you do choose to have a service, they will help organise that as well. Your family and your final farewell will be handled with the care and respect it deserves.

What distinguishes Aura from other companies providing funeral plans in Guildford?

Aura stands out as a family-run business, ensuring you receive a personal touch. Our experienced and friendly team is committed to helping you secure peace of mind with a direct cremation plan that suits your wishes. Customers who have chosen Aura have given us a 4.9-star rating on Trustpilot. Their reviews share heartfelt experiences, praising our compassionate service and support during difficult times.
