Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

Would my loved one have opted for a Direct Cremation?

We often find that a Direct Cremation is chosen by those who don't want to make a fuss of themselves, and who are looking for something quiet without the typical formalities of a standard funeral. If your loved one would have been uneasy with things like big floral tributes or a funeral procession, then this option might suit them, as they are not normally included. In fact, the ceremony is usually completely unattended by anyone, but if you would like to be there with friends and family, we can arrange that. We can take care of things smoothly in Huddersfield for you: we would arrange the collection of your loved one from where they are resting, and escort them to the crematorium for their ceremony. Then, after that, we can either scatter their ashes at the crematorium's garden of remembrance, or hand-deliver them to you at home -- whatever you think would be best. It's a brief and meaningful way to send off your loved one, with all of the dignity of tradition, but none of the fuss.

I'd like to know the price of a Direct Cremation in Huddersfield in advance -- can you let me know the cost?

Once we have managed to talk to you directly about exactly what you are looking for, we would be very glad to provide you with a direct quote. However, until then, it might help you to understand that this kind of funeral is often a lot cheaper than other kinds, and that the average cost of a UK funeral could be more than twice that of an Aura funeral. We could provide one for you from £1,195, but, as we say, we can provide you a with a direct quote as soon as we know more.

Is there some way that I can help my loved one's personality to shine out of the ceremony in Huddersfield?

We would be very pleased to help you make the ceremony as unique to your loved one's life and spirit as we possibly can. There are many ways in which we can help; if you know you would like to tailor things to them, but aren't sure how you could do this, we can make a couple of suggestions: Some people like to make sure that they can have a final viewing of their loved one at the chapel of rest before the ceremony, for instance. Others feel it is important that their loved one's coffin reflects who they were in life, whether through the design, shape, material used, or adornments. Of course, if these things wouldn't have appealed to your loved one, there are plenty of other ways we can accentuate their personality; if there is any way we can help make your own vision a reality, you have only to give us a call.

How long will you need to organise my loved one's funeral in Huddersfield?

We will always work as fast as we possibly can without underdelivering on the quality of our work, and we will always make sure that you are kept in the know every step of the way. Please bear in mind that it is tricky to give you a concrete time frame for how long things will take to deliver without having had the chance to speak with you directly. As a rough idea, we can arrange one of our more tailored options for you within a fortnight, but others will take longer. We will be very happy to provide you with more specifics about a time scale once we understand a bit more about the kind of funeral you have in mind.

I am worried that I will need extra support as I plan my loved one's ceremony -- can you provide me with this?

We understand how difficult it can be to plan a funeral, even at the best of times; worries about cost or doing the right thing, especially when it might be the first time you are organising a funeral, or if it is the first time that you have had to do it, can make things really tricky. Please don't worry about this -- we have a team of experienced funerals on hand called the Angels. They are ready to listen to you, and to make sure that your loved one gets the send off that they deserve. They want to free you from the pressure of admin, allowing you to attend to more important matters.

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 Huddersfield 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.
