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.

Whilst we proudly serve families in Devon and across the UK, please note that Aura is not physically based in Devon.

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.

Choice of Coffin

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

What happens with a Direct Cremation?: What happens at a Direct Cremation is much the same as a standard cremation ceremony, but with a few crucial differences. Normally, it is short service, that doesn't include a lot of the traditional extras you might see at a typical funeral, like a hearse or a funeral procession. This is one of the reasons why it is becoming more popular in the UK, and we tend to find that it fits those who wouldn't be comfortable with this kind of formality. Aura can smoothly handle the arrangements: from collecting your loved one, taking them to the crematorium, to the options post-ceremony of either personally returning their ashes directly to you, or scattering them in the Devon crematorium's beautiful peace garden. Such a ceremony also allows for a more personalised alternative to tradition, and provides a dignified and concise way to bid farewell to your loved one.

Is it expensive to get a Direct Cremation in Devon?: We understand that times are hard enough as they are right now without the added expense of an unexpected funeral. We hope that it makes things just a little easier to know that this kind of funeral is typically a good deal less expensive than other kinds. Furthermore, our funerals could end up costing less than half of the average price of a British funeral, and we could sort everything out in Devon from you from the price of £1,195. We would be more than happy to give you a direct quote for your loved one's funeral once we have talked to you directly about what you are looking for.

Can Aura help me to tailor a funeral in Devon around my preferences?: We will do anything we can to make sure the ceremony sends off your loved one in the way they would have wanted. For instance, in Devon, we could even arrange for the ceremony to be attended, if this would bring comfort, or you could decide which music can escort your loved into the crematorium. We are ready to help you plan the ceremony you want, and, if you have any ideas of your own, we'd be very glad to hear them and help you to make them a reality.

Is it possible to make the funeral organisation process in Devon faster?: We find it difficult to give you a meaningful estimate for the time things will take at the outset, without first having had a conversation with you about your needs. However, we will of course work as efficiently as we can for you, and update you on our progress as often as you need. Each funeral is as unique as the person they are commemorating, which means that they can require different lengths of time. To give you a general sense of things, we could tailor a special funeral to your loved one in Devon within as little as two weeks, but other funerals may take longer to deliver. You can always call us if you are unsure of anything, or if you need a specific update, and we will let you know how things are progressing.

Will anyone be able to assuage my concerns as I plan my loved one's farewell in Devon?: Understanding the strain involved in organising a funeral is something that we pride ourselves on at Aura. Our committed team, known as the Angels, will take on the difficulties of planning the funeral for you, if that is what you would like, preparing everything according to your requests. And remember, we're here to talk whenever you need us -- the Angels will listen to you, and do everything to make sure that you don't have to be sidetracked by admin hassle when you want to focus on more important things.

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 Devon 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.
