Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Shaftesbury.
At Aura, our dedicated team of Aura Angels is at the heart of everything we do. These empathetic professionals guide families through the cremation process with warmth, care, and understanding, ensuring that every step is handled with dignity and respect. As a family-run company, we believe in making what can be a difficult time as peaceful as possible, offering clear communication and unwavering support.
Our direct cremation services include professional care for the person who has died, transportation in a private ambulance, and an unattended or attended cremation at a local crematorium. After the cremation, our team personally hand-delivers the ashes to loved ones or arranges for them to be scattered in the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance, always making sure that final wishes are respected.

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.
