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.

Can I arrange a Direct Cremation funeral ceremony and still do right by my loved one?: Wondering whether we will be able to do our loved ones justice is common source of anxiety at a time when we suddenly need to plan a funeral for them. It may help you to know that a Direct Cremation is a simple, and brief type of ceremony that is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. It tends to be favoured by those would not want to make a fuss or to cause others to go out of their way on their behalf. Typically, it's unattended, but we can organise for you to be there with friends and family if you think it would be best. If you'd like us to organise one in Sheffield, we can do so easily: We would bring your loved one to the crematorium for their ceremony, and then following that, we can either scatter their ashes for you at the local garden of peace, or we can directly hand-deliver them to you at home, as you prefer. This ceremony gives your loved one the chance to be commemorated on their terms, with all of the dignity of tradition, but none of the fuss.

Is a Direct Cremation ceremony in Sheffield costly?: The last thing that we would want to do is downplay or minimise the expense of a funeral, as we know that suddenly needing to organise one can provoke feelings of stress and worry. We hope that it makes things just a little more bearable to know that this kind of ceremony is often a good deal less expensive than other kinds of funeral. In fact, for an Aura funeral, you could pay less than half of what you would pay for the average British funeral. We are able plan this kind of ceremony from £1,195, but if you would like to talk to us over the phone, and let us know a bit more about what you'd like to arrange, we can give you a direct quote.

Can you help me to plan the funeral around my loved one's personality?: Making a ceremony as much about our loved ones as possible could be both what they would have wanted as well as something that we need, too. We see every funeral we arrange as unique and special, and we would be honoured to help your loved one's spirit to shine throughout. There are many ways in which we can help with this: For example, many people like to make sure that their loved one has a coffin whose design follows their interests, whether in terms of its colours, material or adornments. Others are keen to attend the ceremony in person with friends and family; even though it is usually unattended, we can easily arrange this for you. If there is anything at all we can do to make the day more meaningful and personal for your loved one, you have only to ask. We are ready and waiting to receive your call.

Should I expect the arrangement process to take a long time in Sheffield?: If you decide that a more bespoke funeral arrangement would be best, we are able to have everything set within a fortnight; however, other selections could need a bit more time. We know how important staying informed is, which is why we pledge to keep you updated at every step. Our commitment is to provide you with a swift service that doesn't compromise on quality. Nonetheless, you might find it helpful to bear in mind that the time needed to organise different types of funerals can vary. We invite you to call us with your preferences for your loved one's farewell, and we will then be able to offer more precise details about a timeline.

What will happen if I start to struggle and can't continue to plan my loved one's funeral?: Planning a funeral for a loved one can be overwhelming, especially if it's your first time or if the loss was unexpected. We want you to know that you're not alone -- at Aura, we know that you're facing a challenging period, but we have the experience to help you where you need us. Our team, which we call the Angels, are here to support you. They're ready to listen and ensure your loved one's farewell is dignified and respectful, just as they deserved. By managing all the details according to your wishes, our Angels can alleviate the burden, allowing you to be present with your family and friends during this time, free from the worries of organisation.

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 Sheffield 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.
