Why choose Aura?

Aura is a family-run company compassionately providing low-cost funeral plans. We were founded by Paul Jameson back in 2019, alongside his son David (our CEO), and a family friend called Ben. Paul was prompted to do this following his diagnosis with motor neurone disease, and the resulting desire to help families avoid the uncertainty and difficulty he has faced in planning for his own mortality. We can honestly say, with our industry-leading care (which has a 4.9/5 stars on Trustpilot), that we will never provide you with a service any less than Paul would want for his own family.

Our funeral plans are protected by the FCA and FSCS, ensuring your money is safe, and we are the only direct cremation services provider with two 5-star-rated plans on Fairer Finance. This guarantees that your funeral arrangements are secure and handled with care, regardless of when the service is required.

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“

The FCA-regulated and FSCS-protected trust ensures that your money can keep pace with potential inflation, and that your family won’t have anything to pay for themselves when the time comes.
