Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

What is a direct cremation?

A direct cremation is a low-cost alternative to traditional funerals. In Telford, Aura’s direct cremation service includes all of the essentials, such as the collection of the person who has died from our mortuary facilities, and their transportation to the crematorium chapel in a private ambulance for their cremation.

Can family attend a direct cremation in Telford?

Yes, Aura offers both attended and unattended direct cremation services in Telford. If your family wishes to attend, we can arrange a small, private gathering at a local crematorium. Our attended cremation services are available from £2,095.

How affordable are direct cremations in Telford?

Aura’s direct cremations start at £1,195. They’re designed to be cost-effective, offering families in Telford an affordable alternative to traditional funerals. According to SunLife, our prices start at less than half of the cost of the average British traditional funeral, which they put at £4,285.

How long does a direct cremation take in Telford?

The process for a direct cremation in Telford is usually completed soon after the paperwork has been completed. Aura ensures the cremation is handled efficiently, and that the ashes can be returned to your family promptly, typically within 21 days of the cremation. We don’t provide an estimate before the funeral as to how long it will take to arrange, as each one is different and unique. However, we can promise to remain in touch with you throughout the process, making sure that you’re always informed of how things stand.

Why choose Aura’s direct cremation in Telford?

Aura’s compassionate approach, affordability, and highly-rated service make us a trusted choice for direct cremations in Telford. Our family-run ethos ensures that you receive personal care throughout the process, and our direct cremation services are designed to offer simplicity, dignity, and flexibility, allowing families in Telford to say goodbye on their own terms.

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 Telford 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.
