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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

Should I choose a Direct Cremation for the funeral service of my loved one?: Whether you choose this kind of ceremony for your loved one will depend on what sort of person they were in life. We tend to find that a Direct Cremation suits those who wouldn't have liked typical formalities at their funeral, like a hearse or a funeral procession, but instead would want a more personalised option. We can easily take care of things for you in Harrogate: We would collect your loved one from where they are resting, and bring them to the crematorium for their ceremony, which can be tailored to suit them. Afterwards, we can either scatter their ashes directly on your behalf at the crematorium's garden of peace, or we can personally hand-deliver them to you at home -- whatever you think would be more suitable. It provides the chance to remember your loved one with all of the traditional dignity, but in a manner appropriate to them.

Can you tell me the price of a Direct Cremation in Harrogate in advance?: We know that all of a sudden needing to plan a funeral ceremony that may have been unexpected can cause real financial pressure, as it is something that we see every day. We hope it brings some reassurance to know that this type of ceremony is typically a good deal cheaper than other kinds. The average cost of a British funeral could end up costing more than twice the cost of an Aura funeral, and we could provide this kind of ceremony in Harrogate from £1,195. However, as ever, the best way to get a direct quote is to give us a call and let us know what sort of funeral you would like to organise -- that way we can both come together to plan something perfect for your loved one that works for you.

I'd like to make sure my loved one's personality shines through in the ceremony -- can you make that happen?: We absolutely can -- that is exactly what Aura is all about. We see all the time the importance of reflecting the individuality of the person concerned in every funeral, and we have lots of different ways that we can help you with this: Many people opt to attend the ceremony in person, with friends and family, which is something we can easily arrange. Where others like to make sure that their loved one is carried into the crematorium to the sound of some music that was dear to them in life. If you would like to give us a call, we can plan a ceremony together that will truly do justice to your loved one.

Is the organisation of my loved one's funeral in Harrogate going to take a long time?: We can guarantee that we will always work as quickly as we can without letting the quality of our service suffer, and we will always make sure that you understand what is happening with everything throughout. Each funeral, which like as with the question of price, is different, which means that how long they take to organise can differ too. To give you a rough estimate, we are able to arrange a more customised ceremony for you with in 2 weeks, but others can take more time. Once we have had an opportunity to discuss things with you over the phone, we can give you more accurate information about a wait time.

What will happen if I am unable to organise my loved one's ceremony myself?: Please don't worry or let this get on top of you -- we will be there to make sure that everything goes smoothly and according to plan. Concerns of this kind are common, and you are certainly not alone in feeling this way. But our specially trained team of Angels is ready to listen to what you need, and to do all of the legwork in planning the ceremony for you, if that is what you need. We want to make sure that you have headspace you need to focus on the important stuff, leaving the hassle of admin to us.

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 Harrogate 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.
