Aura’s simple, low cost direct cremation services allow you to arrange no-fuss funeral in Braintree.

Aura was founded by Paul Jameson, his son Dave, and their close friend Ben after Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2017. Experiencing first-hand how complex and costly end-of-life arrangements could be, they set out to create something better—simpler, more compassionate, and more affordable. That vision became Aura. Today, we continue to honour that legacy by providing families in Braintree and across Essex with caring, low-cost direct cremation services that put people first.
Located between Chelmsford and Colchester, Braintree is a historic Essex market town known for its textile industry heritage. Aura offers direct cremation in Braintree, providing a simple, affordable alternative to traditional funerals—without formalities such as hearses or pallbearers. Families have the option of a low-cost service at local crematoria if desired.
Our direct cremation services are available throughout Braintree and surrounding areas including Bocking, White Notley, Cressing, Stisted, and Hatfield Peverel.
Aura's direct cremation services are available to families across all of Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Clacton On Sea, Colchester, Coleford, Harlow, Ilford, Rayleigh and Southend On Sea.
Whilst we proudly serve families in Braintree and across the UK, please note that Aura is not physically based in Braintree. 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.
As a family-run company, it's exactly what we'd want for members of our own family. We deliver on the promises we make to our customers, whether it's in the service that we provide to you or the practices in which we care for your loved one behind the scenes.

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.
