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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our full list of FAQs.

What does a direct cremation include in Accrington?: A direct cremation is a simple cremation without the complexities of a traditional funeral service. In Accrington, Aura handles everything—from collection to cremation and ashes return—giving your loved one a respectful farewell without added formality or cost.

How much does a direct cremation cost in Accrington?: Aura’s direct cremation prices start from £1,195, making them much more affordable than the £4,285 cost of a traditional funeral, according to SunLife. It’s a straightforward and cost-effective choice for families in Accrington.

Can the cremation service be personalised?: Yes. Accrington families can include options like being notified of the cremation time or selecting a favourite piece of music. These small but meaningful touches help ensure the service still feels personal.

What happens to the ashes after the cremation?: The ashes can be returned to the family by hand within 21 days for a nominal fee or scattered for free in the crematorium’s Garden of Remembrance. The choice is always yours.

Can I arrange a direct cremation myself in Accrington?: Yes. If a loved one has passed away, you can call us to arrange everything directly. Alternatively, our prepaid funeral plans can be purchased online. Our Aura Angels are here to support families in Accrington.

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 Accrington 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.
