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.

What is a prepaid funeral plan?

A prepaid funeral plan allows you to pay for your funeral services in advance, locking in today’s prices to avoid future inflation. In Cumbria, many families choose Aura's prepaid plans to ensure a simple, dignified farewell without financial stress on their loved ones.

How much does a prepaid funeral plan cost?

Aura’s prepaid funeral plans start at £1,695, offering a cost-effective alternative to the £4,285 average cost of a traditional funeral, as reported by SunLife. With our flexible payment options, you can choose to pay in full or in monthly instalments.

Can I modify my funeral plan later?

Yes, we understand that your preferences may change over time. Whether you're in Carlisle, Kendal, or anywhere in Cumbria, you can update your funeral plan at any time for free, ensuring it reflects your wishes without additional charges. You will only be charged the difference in price if you’re upgrading your plan.

Can my family attend my funeral?

Yes, Aura offers both attended direct cremation plans and text="unattended plan options"]. Our attended cremations in Cumbria allow a small group of loved ones to be present at a local crematorium. If you prefer an unattended cremation, your family can hold a separate memorial service at a time and place that suits them.

Why should I choose Aura’s funeral plans in Cumbria?

Aura’s prepaid funeral plans are highly rated, affordable, and fully protected by the FCA and FSCS. As a family-run company, we prioritise care, transparency, and dignity. Whether you’re in Penrith, Barrow-in-Furness, or Whitehaven, we provide a simple, no fuss way to plan ahead.
