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.

Choice of Coffin

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

Will a Direct Cremation ceremony do right by my loved one?: We understand that it can be difficult to know what sort of funeral to arrange for your loved one, and suddenly needing to plan one at short-notice can provoke all sorts of anxieties. A Direct Cremation is an increasingly preferred option in the UK for those seeking to avoid the formalities of traditional funerals in favour of a more personal alternative. If you don't think your loved one would have liked to be carried by pallbearers or brought to their ceremony in a hearse, then perhaps this ceremony could be right for them. We can easily plan things in Scarborough for you: We would bring them to the crematorium for their ceremony from where they are resting, and then, afterwards, depending on your preference, we can hand-deliver their ashes back to you personally at home, or we can scatter them on your behalf in the crematorium's garden of solace. It provides a concise and respectful option that could be right for your loved one. If you are ready, why not give us a call and let us know what you had in mind, or feel free to ask us any questions that you might have on the subject -- we would be happy to help.

Will I need to pay a lot of money for a Direct Cremation in Scarborough?: We understand that each funeral is expensive, and suddenly finding yourself needing to pay for one unexpectedly can lead to finance-related stress. It may help you to know that this kind of funeral is normally a lot less expensive than other kinds. Indeed, the cost of an Aura funeral could be less than half of the average funeral-cost in the UK, and we could provide one for you in Scarborough from £1,195. If you would like to give us a call, we can discuss your needs and give you a direct quote for our services that is tailored to your specific needs.

Will you be able to help my loved one's personality be a part of the ceremony?: Making each funeral special and unique is exactly what Aura does best, and we'd be very glad to help you make your loved one's ceremony as memorable and true to them as possible. We have many different ways at our disposal to achieve this: Lots of people, for instance, like to make sure their loved one has a coffin that reflects something of their individuality, whether through its colour, design, material, or through the images or words you could decide to adorn it with. It can also be uplifting and meaningful to select a song that was dear to them as they are brought into the crematorium at the beginning of their ceremony. If there is anything at all we can do to ensure that your loved one's ceremony does them justice, we'd very glad to hear it; please feel free to give us a call, and we can work together to create something does right by them.

How long will I need to wait for my loved one's funeral to be arranged in Scarborough?: If you opt for one of our more personalised funerals, we could arrange everything within 14 days, but other options will need more time. We understand how important it is to be kept informed about everything that is happening during the organisation stage, and that's why we will regularly update you throughout. We will always work as hard as we can to deliver things promptly, without giving you a lesser service, but please bear in mind that different funerals require different lengths of time to arrange. If you'd like to give us a call to let us know what sort of funeral you'd like to arrange for your loved one, we can then provide you with some more specific information about a time frame.

Will I be able to get help if I need it whilst my loved one's funeral is being planned?: We promise that we will not leave you to deal with everything alone. We know that a time like this can lead to many sudden feelings of anxiety or worry that we will be able to do right by our loved ones, especially if we have never planned a funeral before. We are very experienced funeral planners, and we will be able to answer any questions you have, and solve any problem that may arise along the way. Our friendly team of Angels is there to listen to you, and to shoulder the logistical weight of planning on your behalf. We want to make sure that your loved one gets the funeral that does them justice, and that you can be with friends and family without any distractions or nagging doubts.

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 Scarborough 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.
