Direct cremation in Barnstaple, Devon and across the UK

With North Devon's stunning and award-winning coastline, it's no surprise that so much of the area is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. What you may not know, though, is that North Devon is also a home for Aura, the UK's top-rated direct cremation service provider.

Aura is a family-run company that provides the UK’s top-rated direct cremation services, whether they’re needed now or in the future. With our cremations, there are no hearses or pallbearers; instead we offer a simple, affordable direct cremation to families throughout Barnstaple, with an optional service at North Devon Crematorium.

From the busier hustle and bustle of Barnstaple and Ilfracombe to the quieter villages of Witheridge, Umberleigh, North Molton, Chulmleigh and Barbrook, Aura's family-run funeral services are available to all.

Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Devon, including Bideford, Exeter, Exmouth, Newton Abbot, Paignton, Plymouth, Taunton, Tavistock, Tiverton and Torquay.

Whilst we proudly serve families in Barnstaple and across the UK, please note that Aura is not physically based in Barnstaple. We cannot guarantee that the cremation will take place in this specific area, unless it has been requested at an additional cost. If you have questions, our friendly team is here to help.

Care

Our Direct Cremation Process

1. We're ready to listen

If a loved one of yours has recently died, or if they are nearing the end of their life, we'll gladly help you to make the arrangements. The first step is to give us a call.

2. Collecting your loved one

We don't need to collect your loved one immediately, so please take your time in saying your goodbyes. Once you're ready for us, we'll bring them into our care.

3. Supporting you and your family

Whilst your loved one is resting safely in our state-of-the-art mortuary facilities, we'll guide you through all the legal paperwork, ensuring the cremation can go ahead smoothly.

4. A chance to say farewell

We know that it's important for some families to say goodbye at a ceremony before the cremation. If you would like, we can help you to arrange a simple, low-cost ceremony at a local crematorium.

5. The cremation

For those without a ceremony, we'll make sure to let you know at what time the cremation will take place, so that you can have a moment of quiet reflection to yourself.

6. Your loved one's ashes

Depending on what you'd like, we can either hand-deliver the ashes to you at home within 21 days. Or we can scatter them respectfully on your behalf at the crematorium's own Garden of Remembrance.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and personal touches

Priority Care

If you'd like things to happen quickly, we can work closely with you to ensure the arrangements happen within your timelines.

Low Cost Service

If you'd like, we can help you arrange a low-cost service local to you, or at any crematorium in Great Britain.

Choice of Coffin

If your loved one's coffin is important to you, we can support you to choose one that feels right.

Chapel of Rest

Unlike other providers, we can support you to say goodbye to your loved one with a viewing at one of our chapels of rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

Should I opt for a Direct Cremation for my loved one?: If your loved one wouldn't have wanted to cause any bother for others, or put themselves at the centre of attention, then a Direct Cremation could be the right option for them. It may comfort you to know that this is an increasingly preferred type of ceremony in the UK, as more and more people are deciding that a traditional funeral with floral tributes and a hearse doesn't reflect who they are. If you think it would be best, we can arrange one in Barnstaple for your loved one, including escorting them to the crematorium, the ceremony, and the return of their ashes to you. If you would prefer, we can arrange for them to be scattered directly at the crematorium's garden of remembrance. Whether attended or fully unattended, this ceremony provides an understated and respectful commemoration for your loved one.

What is the cost involved with arranging a Direct Cremation in Barnstaple?: We'd be pleased to talk to you about your options over the phone, so that we can give you a precise quote. It might make things just a little bit easier to know that this type of ceremony is often significantly cheaper than other kinds of funeral. And if there is anything we can do to ease the financial strain at this time, we will be sure to try: An Aura funeral could cost less than half of the average cost of a UK funeral, and we could provide this type of service for you in Barnstaple starting at £1,195.

Is there room for my loved one's character in this type of funeral?: With things like floral tributes and funeral processions left to the side, there is plenty of space for your wishes and for your loved one's spirit to shine through. We would be honoured to help you organise something memorable and that does your loved one justice. Some people like to make sure that the celebrant has some meaningful words to say about them before at the beginning of the ceremony, while others want to pick one of their loved one's favourite songs to escort them into the crematorium before the ceremony begins. We would be delighted to hear from you over the telephone so that together we can plan the kind of ceremony your loved one would have wanted.

Does the planning time for the ceremony in Barnstaple take long?: Each funeral that we work on is different and special in its own way, and that can influence how long things take to deliver. Once we have had a chance to talk together over the phone, we would be glad to share a more specific timescale with you. In the meantime, as a general guideline, one of our more customised funerals could be arranged in Barnstaple within a two-week period, but this will vary depending on the kind of funeral being planned. As ever, you are more than welcome to call us any time you need for an update on things, and we will always do our best to make sure you are regularly informed of our progress.

If I need support as I am planning this ceremony in Barnstaple, what should I do?: We want to let you know that we are just a phone call away if you ever need us for any reason. We have an experienced team of Angels ready and waiting who will not leave you handling things alone, if that's not what you want; they know just the right questions to ask, and they will listen to you. Should you need, they are there to take the hassle of organising things out of your hands, creating the space you need to be in the moment.

Where will the cremation take place?: We provide a nationwide direct cremation service, working with a trusted network of crematoria and care centres across England, Scotland and Wales. While we do serve families in Barnstaple and the surrounding area, the cremation may not take place locally as part of our standard £1,195 package.

To keep our service simple and affordable, we arrange the cremation based on availability within our wider network. This helps avoid delays and allows us to offer the best possible value.

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.
