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

If you'd like, we can help you arrange a low-cost service local to you, or at any crematorium in Great Britain.

Choice of Coffin

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

Chapel of Rest

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.

What is a direct cremation, and how does it work in Melbourne, England?: A direct cremation is a straightforward, affordable option where the cremation takes place without a traditional funeral service. In Melbourne, Aura arranges for the deceased to be taken directly to the crematorium, and after the cremation, the ashes are respectfully returned to the family. There’s no complication or fuss – just a dignified cremation, as your loved one would have wanted.

How affordable is a direct cremation in Melbourne, England?: Aura’s direct cremation service is a cost-effective alternative to a traditional funeral in Melbourne. Starting from £1,195, it is designed to meet the needs of families in the area, including those in nearby Derby and Castle Donington, without the high costs of a typical service. In fact, according to SunLife, our direct cremations are available from less than half of the cost of the average UK funeral, which is £4,285.

Can we modify a direct cremation service in Melbourne, England?: Yes, you have the flexibility to modify a direct cremation service with Aura in Melbourne. Whether you want to add personal touches like music or choose an attended service at a local crematorium, we ensure that you have complete control over the arrangements, and that your loved one will receive a service that truly reflects their personality.

Can family attend a direct cremation in Melbourne, England?: Yes, if you opt for an attended direct cremation, family members can be present during the cremation at a crematorium that is local to you. This option allows for a more personal farewell while still maintaining the simplicity of a direct cremation. We can even help you to find the services of a celebrant or religious minister, who can work with you to personalise a service around the life of the person who has died.

How long does a direct cremation take in Melbourne, England?: The direct cremation process in Melbourne depends on a few things, such as the completion of necessary legal documents. Aura ensures that the process is handled efficiently while maintaining the dignity and respect of the person who has died throughout. We can’t give you an advance estimate of delivery time for everything, but we can assure you that we will keep you informed, and that we will remain available should you have any questions.

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 Melbourne 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.
