A trusted service from our family to yours

”After I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, I started thinking about my funeral. I didn't want my family to spend thousands of pounds on a high-end coffin or expensive limousines, but I also wanted high quality service. The most important thing for me was that I wanted to know that my family would be in trusted hands when the time came. That's why me, my son and an expert team created Aura - to provide exceptional service at a low cost. No less than what I'd want for my own family“

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

Is it beneficial for my family if I sort out a prepaid funeral plan in Edinburgh?

Prepaid funeral plans can be handy, as they allow you to pay for and arrange everything for your funeral in advance. A big benefit of getting one sorted is that your loved ones can breathe a sigh of relief in the knowledge that they won't find themselves suddenly paying out thousands for your funeral at an especially difficult time. Nor will they be in the awkward position of deciding things about your funeral on your behalf that they may not be entirely sure you'd have agreed with. Other benefits include the fact that in buying a funeral plan, you can keep today's funeral prices, even if your plan won't be activated for many years, protecting your family from potential future price rises. With Aura, the money is placed into a secure trust managed by independent trustees, ready for when the time comes. If you'd like to secure these benefits and the serenity that comes with them, then why don't we have a talk about it? We'd be delighted to hear from you over the phone, or of course, you could simply request a quote via our website.

Do funeral plans in Edinburgh require a significant amount of money?

The financial expense of a funeral can cause anxiety and worry, and we see that in action frequently in our line of work. Funerals are expensive, and there's no denying that, however, there are ways to make things less expensive. We hope it makes things just a little bit easier to know that the national average funeral cost is significantly more expensive than one of Aura's funerals. The SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2024 suggests that the average funeral cost in the UK is approximately £4,141, whereas our plans start at £1,695 regardless of whether you're in Edinburgh or elsewhere. If you'd like our support in getting a plan together for you which honors your memory at a price that's more comfortable, we'd be very glad to receive your call.

If I change my mind after paying for my funeral plan in Edinburgh, what will happen?

Life can step in and upend our best-laid plans in an instant; we want your funeral plan to work with you in times like those, not against you. That's why ours have been created to be fully flexible: Feel free to cancel your plan at any time and you will receive a full refund without needing to pay a penalty. You can alter your plan after you've paid without incurring any admin fees; you will only have to pay the difference if you expand things, for example by moving from an unattended ceremony to a partially or fully attended one. If you'd like to ask us anything about this, or you would like to amend or cancel an existing plan, we are to talk whenever you are ready.

What steps are involved when the time comes to activate my plan?

Just as our plans are meant to be flexible, we've also designed them to work seamlessly when the time comes to set things in motion. Whilst buying your plan, you'll pick a loved one (a close relative or friend) to be your responsible person. We'll give them a helpful document that will keep them right, so that they are prepared and comfortable with what they need to do when you have passed. They'll notify us that it's time to activate your plan, allowing us to use the money you've already provided to pay for everything. We'll work with them to organise your funeral, depending on what you've specified: If you'll be having an unattended cremation, we'll help your responsible person with the legal side of things, but if your funeral will have guests, then we'll also support them with arranging the funeral itself.

What makes Aura the best choice for my plan in Edinburgh instead of others?

Through our hard work, we have won recognition for our high levels of service. Independent experts and clients alike have rated us highly, with Fairer Finance making us the only cremation services provider with two plans rated at '5 stars', and our customers allowing us to say that we are the only one with a 4.9-star Trustpilot rating. Whether you need us in Edinburgh or elsewhere in Britain, we are confident that we can help you. If you'd like to give us a call, we can assess your needs and put something together for you that works.
