Our Direct Cremation Process

1. We're ready to listen

If a loved one of yours has recently died, or if they are nearing the end of their life, we'll gladly help you to make the arrangements. The first step is to give us a call.

2. Collecting your loved one

We don't need to collect your loved one immediately, so please take your time in saying your goodbyes. Once you're ready for us, we'll bring them into our care.

3. Supporting you and your family

Whilst your loved one is resting safely in our state-of-the-art mortuary facilities, we'll guide you through all the legal paperwork, ensuring the cremation can go ahead smoothly.

4. A chance to say farewell

We know that it's important for some families to say goodbye at a ceremony before the cremation. If you would like, we can help you to arrange a simple, low-cost ceremony at a local crematorium.

5. The cremation

For those without a ceremony, we'll make sure to let you know at what time the cremation will take place, so that you can have a moment of quiet reflection to yourself.

6. Your loved one's ashes

Depending on what you'd like, we can either hand-deliver the ashes to you at home within 21 days. Or we can scatter them respectfully on your behalf at the crematorium's own Garden of Remembrance.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and personal touches

Priority Care

If you'd like things to happen quickly, we can work closely with you to ensure the arrangements happen within your timelines.

Low Cost Service

If you'd like, we can help you arrange a low-cost service local to you, or at any crematorium in Great Britain.

Choice of Coffin

If your loved one's coffin is important to you, we can support you to choose one that feels right.

Unlike other providers, we can support you to say goodbye to your loved one with a viewing at one of our chapels of rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

Is a Direct Cremation attended?: One of the main differences between a Direct Cremation and a traditional funeral is that there are not normally any attendees, but if you think that this type of ceremony would be right for your loved one and you would like to attend it with friends and family, we can easily arrange this for you. It is also normally a lot less ostentatious than a typical funeral, as it doesn't include things like a hearse or flowers, so if they would have been uncomfortable with this kind of formality, or they would have wanted to express themselves in other ways, it might be the right option for them. If you need to arrange one in Nottingham, we can easily do this for you. We would collect your loved one, bring them to the crematorium, and then, once they have been cremated, we can either return their ashes to you directly, or scatter them in the crematorium's garden of remembrance, as you prefer. This send-off is an elegant option with all the dignity of a typical funeral, but none of the fuss.

What sort of price does a Direct Cremation cost in Nottingham?: The easiest way to get a clear idea of how much things might cost is to give us a call and let us know what you have in mind -- that way, we can give you a direct quote after discussing your options. We could arrange this type of ceremony in Nottingham for as little as £1,195, but please remember that the price will vary according to your specifications. Typically, this is the least costly option available because it doesn't include many of the extra formalities, and, the average cost of a British funeral could be more than twice as expensive as an Aura funeral.

If I choose this kind of send-off in Nottingham, can I include personal touches in the service?: At Aura, we know how important this moment is, and we want to make each funeral as unique to the individual concerned as possible. There are many different ways that we can achieve that with you: lots of people want to make sure that they can attend the funeral in person with family and friends, for example, which we can easily arrange. Others find that it gives them closure to make sure that the celebrant who will oversee the ceremony has some personalised words to say about their loved one before the ceremony begins. If there is anything at all that we can do to help your loved one's spirit shine through on this day, we would be very glad to hear from you over the phone.

Once I have decided on a funeral ceremony in Nottingham, will I have to wait long?: We want to make sure that we work as fast as we possibly can without compromising our service, and also to keep you in the loop at every important moment. That said, please bear in mind that it is hard to give a concrete time frame for arrangement of each funeral, as each one is special and unique. For instance, our bespoke option can be arranged within only two weeks, but other funerals will require longer to organise. The best way to stay in the know is to keep in touch with us, and call us if you are unsure of anything.

How much support will you give me during the organisation of my loved one's funeral in Nottingham?: We will support you however you need, whether you need us in Nottingham or anywhere else. Our lovely Angels team is on hand to make sure that it is not you who is dealing with the administrative hassle of organising a funeral -- that's our job. We want you to be free to commemorate your loved one with peace of mind.

Where will the cremation take place?: 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 Nottingham 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.
