Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Heanor.
Aura was founded by Paul Jameson, his son Dave, and their close friend Ben, driven by a deeply personal mission. After Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2017, he experienced firsthand the emotional and financial challenges that come with end-of-life planning. Determined to provide families with a dignified and affordable alternative to traditional funerals, Paul created Aura, a family-run funeral provider designed to remove unnecessary stress and expense while maintaining the utmost care and respect. His vision was simple: to ensure that families in Heanor and beyond could access a compassionate, low-cost cremation service that prioritises people over profit. Today, with a 4.9/5 stars rating on Trustpilot, Aura is one of the highest-rated providers in the UK.

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.
