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

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

Is a Direct Cremation just for those who wouldn't want to be the centre of attention?: A Direct Cremation is a form of funeral that is increasingly favoured by British people, and one of the main reasons is that it offers us a more personal and special alternative to the traditional formalities. If your loved one was the kind of person who would have been uneasy with a hearse and a funeral procession, then this ceremony gives you the opportunity to bring their personality front and centre. We can easily arrange one for you in Peterborough: We can escort your loved one to their ceremony at the crematorium, and then, afterwards, we can either scatter their ashes on your behalf at the garden of solace, or personally hand-deliver them to you at home -- whatever you think is best. If you are ready to give us a call, we can answer any further questions you have abou this kind of ceremony, and we can start to arrange something together that will do right by your loved one.

How expensive is a Direct Cremation in Peterborough?: We hope that it provides some comfort at this time to know that this kind of funeral is often a good deal less expensive than others. We know that suddenly needing to confront the task of organising an unexpected funeral can cause financial stress and anxiety, but the cost of an Aura funeral could be less than half of that of the average British funeral. We could arrange everything for you in Peterborough from the price of £1,195, but if you would like to give us a call and let us know what kind of funeral you would like us to organise, we would then be able to give you a direct quote for our services.

Will my loved one's personality be a central part of the ceremony?: Your loved one's personality can be as much a part of the ceremony as you think would be best. We would be honoured to help you make things all about them, and to put their spirit front and centre. We have a few ways at our disposal which can help achieve this: Many people like to select a song that was dear to their loved one to be played as they enter the crematorium, which makes this moment more special. Others find it important to provide their loved one with a coffin that reflects something of who they were in life, whether by using a theme that connects with one of their interests, or by having it adorned with photos of places or people that were important to them. If you have any of your own ideas, we'd be very pleased to hear them; why not give us a call and let us know how we together we can create something of which your loved one would have been proud.

Can my loved one's ceremony be quickly arranged in Peterborough?: We want to get everything arranged for you as quickly as we can without letting the quality of our service drop, as we know important a timely service is at a moment like this. While we can't provide you with a specific time frame for your loved one's ceremony before we've managed to have a conversation with you about it, in the meantime, we can provide a general idea. We could arrange everything for you in Peterborough within 14 days, if you opt for one of our more personalised funerals, but others will need more time. We will always make sure you are aware of everything at every key step, but if you need a specific update outside of our regular communications, you have only to call us.

What should I do if I need support whilst things get organised?: If you ever need our support with anything at all relating to this time, you have only to call us. We know that suddenly needing to organise a funeral can spring many different anxieties and worries upon you, especially if you have never had to organise one before, or if the need arose unexpectedly. Our dedicated team of Angels is ready to answer any of your questions, or simply to listen to you, if that's what you need. They are experienced funeral planners, and they will be able to do all of the legwork for you, taking on the hassle of extra admin. We would like to be as free as you can to be in the moment with friends and family.

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 Peterborough 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.
