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.

I'd like to learn more about prepaid funeral plans, can you tell me about them?

Considering what life for others will be like when we're no longer here isn't always easy, but taking steps to prepare for the future can be immensely reassuring. If you want to lay out your final wishes and take care of the expenses in advance, a prepaid funeral plan for those in South Wales or across the UK can help. By taking the steps to plan your funeral in advance, you ensure your personal preferences are communicated beforehand, relieving your loved ones of the financial and decision-making burdens later. At Aura, you can cover the costs either in a single payment or through instalments. Also, you'll be locking in the current cost of funeral services, guarding against price increases that might occur in the future.

If I'm considering a South Wales funeral plan, how much can I expect to be charged?

Understanding the costs associated with end-of-life planning is an important step in preparing for the future. At Aura, we strive to provide affordable yet compassionate services to help ease this part of your planning process. Our starting price for a direct cremation funeral plan is £1,695, which is significantly lower than the national average, currently estimated in Sunlife's Cost of Dying Report at £4,141. Our cost-effective option is available to everyone in Britain, including South Wales, and includes all the necessary services without any unexpected expenses, reducing the financial burden on your loved ones. Our team is here to guide you through the steps of a plan and help answer any questions you may have, we're just a phone call away.

Am I allowed to modify the details of my prepaid funeral plan?

When you have a funeral plan with Aura in South Wales or anywhere else in the country, you are always able to modify or make changes as you need. We believe in offering flexibility because we understand that your preferences might change as time goes on. Whether it's to cancel your plan to make a change in the type of service you desire, you're free to make adjustments. There's no charge for altering the details of your plan to better match your current wishes. However, should your modifications involve upgrading to a service that incurs extra costs, these will be clearly explained and added to your plan. Our aim is to make sure your funeral reflects your wishes accurately, offering peace of mind that everything is arranged just as you'd like. Feel free to contact us if you're thinking about making changes; our team is here to ensure the process is smooth and straightforward.

How does Aura handle the details of a funeral plan after I purchase one?

When purchasing your funeral plan with Aura, you can set out your wishes on the kind of service you want, whether that's attended or unattended. Then, you'll nominate a trusted individual—perhaps a family member or close friend—who will act as your representative. We'll then provide them with a guide on how to proceed when the time comes, ensuring they're well-prepared and supported throughout. Our team will then assist your nominated representative with every detail, from the initial notification of your passing to the execution of your plan. This includes navigating any paperwork, arranging a service if you've selected one, and ensuring that all your preferences for the funeral are respected and fulfilled.

For someone looking at funeral plans in South Wales, are there any particular benefits to choosing Aura?

For those in South Wales and beyond, Aura provides respectful direct cremation services. Our team is committed to providing you with an affordable yet dignified way to say goodbye to loved ones. We've earned a positive reputation with our customers, who have rated us 4.9 stars out of five on Trustpilot. We're also independently reviewed by experts like Fairer Finance, who gave us five stars on our funeral plan options. By choosing Aura, you're going for a family-run partner to handle your funeral plan with genuine care and dedication.
