Why choose Aura?

Aura is a family-run company with a 4.9/5 stars on Trustpilot and an industry-leading team of funeral arrangers we call the Angels. They are the secret of our success and the key to the compassionate, people-centric care that we offer each and every family who places their trust in us. Our Angels are there to ensure that your funeral in Taunton is exactly the funeral you deserve, and they’ll be there to guide your family every step of the way through the tough time of organising it.

In Aura, you’re not just getting a family-run, top-rated company that provides a low-cost, no-fuss alternative to a traditional funeral; you are getting top security for your money. When you buy one of our plans, we place your money into a fully secure, independently managed trust which keeps your money safe until it’s needed to pay for your funeral. We’re regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and your plan is protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), shielding you even in the highly unlikely event that we can’t deliver on your plan.

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.

How does a Taunton funeral plan work?

In order to make sure everything goes smoothly, we recommend you appoint a loved one to be your ‘Nominated Representative’ when you buy one of our funeral plans. We’ll provide them with a helpful pack that explains exactly what they need to do when the time comes, starting with notifying us that it’s time to put your plan into action. We’ll then work together to put your wishes into effect, using the money you’ve given us to fund everything.

What does a funeral plan in Taunton cost?

According to SunLife, the average cost of a funeral in the UK last year was £4,285, which is a significant amount of money for anyone. It might reassure you to know that this figure is more than double the price of an Aura funeral plan, which you can secure from as little as £1,695. More information about our pricing can be found at our Funeral Plan page.

Can families attend my ceremony in Taunton with one of your funeral plans?

If it’s important to you or your family to have loved ones at your ceremony, then we are proud to say that this is a possibility with Aura. We can assist your family in finding either a religious minister or a secular celebrant to personalise a ceremony around you, and to lead it on the day. Head to our attended direct cremation page for more information about this.

When the time comes to put my funeral plan into action in Taunton will my family need to handle everything themselves?

We know how important it can be for some people to handle the admin aspect of a loved one’s funeral, as some feel it can help with processing the loss. We will provide as much or as little admin support as wanted by the family, but please bear in mind that certain certificates and documents are mandatory, and we will always make sure that it is in place by supporting you.

How long does it take to get everything in Taunton ready, when it’s time to activate my funeral plan?

We will always work as diligently as we can to deliver on your plan as quickly as possible. But we would ask you to bear in mind that each funeral is different from the next, and that there are many different components to each one. We’ll make sure to update as regularly as you need with our progress.
