With an Aura unattended cremation, we collect the person who has died from where they’ve passed away and bring them into our care at state-of-the-art mortuary facilities.
From there, we bring them to the crematorium privately, words of respect will be spoken by the attendant and the cremation will take place shortly after.

When you buy one of our plans, we place your money into a secure trust. That trust is independently managed, and it means your money is kept to the side, safe and sound, ready to be used when the time comes.
We can access it in order to activate your plan when it’s needed to pay for everything, or in order to give you a refund if you decide to cancel.
Our funeral plans are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and they are also protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This reassures you that, in the highly unlikely scenario where Aura is not able to action your plan, you may be eligible for compensation.
Those you leave behind will be looked after by a team that truly cares. As a family-run company, it’s exactly what we’d want for members of our own family. Don’t just take our word for it; see how we compare to the others.

If you’re thinking about your arrangements for the last years of your life, and what will happen after you’re gone, a prepaid funeral plan in Christchurch might be what you need. The purpose of such a plan is to formalise your wishes for your funeral, ensuring it reflects your desires and takes care of the money side of things beforehand. It also helps your loved ones avoid sudden financial demands and the burden of making decisions they might fear could disrespect your memory. When you buy a plan, your contributions go into a secure trust that preserves the cost at today’s rate, safeguarding against possible future price rises. You can opt to pay in one go or in instalments, adding to your convenience. The main advantage of this plan is it gives you control over your legacy, guaranteeing your preferences are respected, which can give you peace of mind and allow you to fully enjoy your remaining years without worries about unfinished matters.
Considering the end of our lives and planning for it is undeniably tough, emotionally and financially. In Christchurch, we hope it helps you to know that our funeral services start at just £1,695, significantly lower than the national average of £4,285 suggested by information in the [pdf_sunlife]. Although the cost of a funeral may vary based on your personal choices, we are ready to explore your specific needs or provide a quote whenever you wish. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss and put together a plan that you find fulfilling.
Our aim in Christchurch is for you to have complete control over your funds and your funeral plan. You can cancel at any point without any penalties, and you will be refunded all the amounts you have paid. Changes to your plan are also manageable without any extra charges unless you choose to expand its features. For instance, if you initially chose a funeral with guests but later wish to have an unattended ceremony, we can accommodate this adjustment effortlessly. Simply contact us, and we will sort out everything for you.
Our direct-cremation funeral plans in Christchurch provide an alternative to the formalities of conventional funerals, avoiding things like floral tributes and a funeral procession. This might be appealing if you’re uncomfortable with traditional elements. The process is streamlined for simplicity: you appoint a friend or loved one to manage everything after you pass, and we supply them with a leaflet explaining the subsequent steps, ensuring they are prepared and confident in their role. Upon their notification, we activate the plan you’ve established and prepaid. If there are no guests, we primarily provide legal document support to them, but if there are guests, we collaborate with them to arrange the details of your ceremony.
