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“
