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.

Could it benefit my family if I get a prepaid funeral plan in Gravesend?

Whether you opt for a prepaid funeral plan is, ultimately, your call, but, as they allow you to pay for and organise your funeral in advance, you may find having one works for you. You can spare your loved ones from the stress of suddenly spending thousands for your funeral, as well as of needing to arrange a funeral for you at short notice that they not be sure you'd have wanted. If you buy a funeral plan, you can keep the price you see today, even if your plan won't be needed for a long time, shielding your family from potential future price rises. Aura places your money into a secure trust managed by independent trustees, ready to be used when the moment arises. If you'd like to benefit from all this and more, we'd be glad to talk to you about your options. You can call us at your convenience, or simply request a quote on our website.

Is the cost of funeral plans in Gravesend high?

The cost of paying for a funeral is something that lots of people are concerned about, and we see that all too often, day to day. Funerals can cost a lot of money, and we'd never want to downplay that fact. With that said, there are things we can do to help make this time a bit easier. We hope it brings a little comfort to know that the national average funeral cost is actually a good deal more pricey than one of our funerals. The SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2024 estimates the average UK funeral cost at roughly £4,141, but our plans start at £1,695 regardless of whether you might be in Gravesend or elsewhere. We'd be more than happy to help talk you through your options; we're experts in putting together a plan that will do right by you at a price you can accept; just give us a call and we can get started.

How will things proceed if I want to alter my decision after securing my funeral plan in Gravesend?

Something that people often worry about is what will happen if they need to make an amendment to, or even fully cancel, their plans once they've been purchased or an instalment has been paid. We are pleased to say that Aura's plans are designed to be forgiving and flexible: there are no cancellation or amendment fees, and you will only pay any extra if you decide to expand the plan, for example from a cremation ceremony with no guests to one that does have guests. And, if you do need to cancel, you will receive a full refund of every penny you've paid to date. If you have any questions or concerns whatsoever about the flexibility of our plans, then please do get in touch; we'd warmly welcome your phone call.

Could you describe what happens when it's time to put my plan into effect?

When the time comes to put your plan into action, you can rest assured that things will run smoothly. In the process of buying one of Aura's funeral plans, you will nominate a responsible person (we'd recommend a close friend or family member) who can take charge of things. We'll give them a helpful guide that explains step by step what they need to do and how they can notify us of your passing. Once this is done, we can activate your plan and use the money you've set aside to pay for your funeral. The kind of support we provide to your nominated person will depend on the kind of ceremony that you've specified: If there will be no guests, we will focus on helping them with the legal matters. If your ceremony will be attended, then we will also help them with the logistics of organising the day itself. Whatever funeral you've specified, you can rest assured that things will proceed exactly as planned.

Why would I benefit more from choosing Aura for my plan in Gravesend than any other provider?

There are numerous different options out there for funeral plans in Britain, so we know how important it is to offer a special service. We are extremely proud of the recognition we've received from both independent experts and from our own customers. For instance, Fairer Finance has made us the only cremation services provider with two 5-star rated plans, while our customers have made us the highest-rated one on Trustpilot, with a 4.9-star rating. Why don't you see for yourself why our customers are so satisfied? Give us a call and we can put a plan together for you that does you justice.
