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.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and personal touches

Priority Care

If you'd like things to happen quickly, we can work closely with you to ensure the arrangements happen within your timelines.

Low Cost Service

Choice of Coffin

If your loved one's coffin is important to you, we can support you to choose one that feels right.

Unlike other providers, we can support you to say goodbye to your loved one with a viewing at one of our chapels of rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

How is Direct Cremation best characterised?: The best way to understand what a Direct Cremation is, is to see it as a concise ceremony without most of the traditional funeral formalities. If your loved one wouldn't have wanted to have floral tributes or pallbearers, then this ceremony might be perfect for them. It also tends to suit those who are looking for a more personalised alternative to tradition, as without those formalities, there is more room for the expression of their character in the ceremony. If you need one arranged in Swindon, Aura is able to handle things easily. We simply collect your loved one and bring them to the crematorium. Then, after the cremation ceremony, we hand-deliver their ashes to you, or have them scattered at the crematorium's own idyllic garden of peace. They are an excellent way to commemorate someone briefly, but with respect and dignity.

What should I spend on a Direct Cremation in Swindon?: We hope it makes things just a little easier for you in this moment to know that this type of service is normally significantly cheaper than other kinds, due to the fact that they can be much more concise. In fact, an Aura funeral in Swindon could cost less than half of the average price of a UK funeral. As a guideline for price, we could provide one from £1,195, but depending on your needs, the price can vary. The best way to get a direct quote is to give us a call and have a chat with us about the sort of thing you are thinking -- that way we can talk you through your options and put something together just for you.

Is there an option for a more bespoke type of cremation in Swindon?: There is certainly lots of room for your input as we arrange the ceremony for your loved one. We want to help you do right by them, and many people find the inclusion of special wishes a fitting way to do that. Your loved one, if you think it best, could enter the crematorium to the sound of some music that was dear to them, for example; others find it essential to have them honoured with some final, special words spoken by the celebrant before beginning proceedings. If there is any way we can help you to put your wishes into effect, we'd be more than happy to hear from you over the phone.

How long does Aura take to prepare this kind of ceremony in Swindon?: We strive to deliver each funeral as efficiently as we can, without compromising on the quality of our service, as well as to communicate our progress to you every step of the way. We would recommend keeping in mind that each funeral is unique, which means that the time taken to arrange one could differ depending on what kind of ceremony would be best for your loved one. To give you a general idea, we could get a things all sorted for you in Swindon before two weeks have passed, but the number of days needed will vary based upon what you need. If you ever feel that you need a particular update outside of our usual communication, you're more than welcome to give us a call.

Will anyone be able to reassure me as I go through this process?: We can absolutely promise that you won't have to go through these moments in solitude, if that is not what you want. Planning a funeral presents numerous difficulties at the best of times, especially if things were not expected, or if it is the first time you have ever had to deal with something like this. That is exactly why our specially trained Angels are prepared to lend their assistance. It's our mission to take the weight of planning and organising off of your shoulders, giving you the chance to take stock, and reflect, whether you need us in Swindon or beyond.

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 Swindon 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.
