Why choose Aura?

Aura is a family business, and our compassionate care is inspired by the story of our founder, Paul Jameson. Back in 2017, he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and he decided to found Aura with his son Dave, and family friend Ben, in order to share what he’d learned about end-of-life planning with families in the UK. We only offer the quality of service to families in Rotherham that Paul would expect for his own family.

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 happens in a Rotherham direct cremation?: We will respectfully bring your loved one to the crematorium in a private ambulance on the day of their cremation. We also offer the choice to have music that was dear to them playing as they are carried into the chapel and placed on the catafalque, if you would like. As soon after the ceremony as possible, the cremation will proceed. We can scatter their ashes at the crematorium itself, or return them to you in Rotherham or anywhere else in mainland Britain.

How much does a direct cremation in Rotherham cost?: We hope it is reassuring to know that our direct cremation services could be available to you from less than half of last year’s average UK funeral cost, according to data given by SunLife, which was £4,285. Our direct cremation services in Rotherham start at £1,195.

Can family attend a direct cremation in Rotherham?: We know how important it is to some families in Rotherham to be able to attend the cremation ceremony of their loved one. That’s why we can also offer you the chance to say goodbye in person. We offer two types of attended service: one with a ceremony lasting up to 15 minutes for 15 people, and another lasting up to 45 minutes for as many as the crematorium can hold. You can find out more about our attended direct cremations by clicking the link.

Can I arrange a direct cremation in Rotherham myself?: We understand that for some people it’s important to be able to handle the admin themselves, and we certainly won’t intrude if that’s what you’d like. There are certain pieces of paperwork that need to be completed before a cremation can proceed, and our Angel team will be on hand to support you where necessary and make sure that everything is in order.

How long does a Rotherham direct cremation take?: It’s not possible to provide an estimate at the outset, unfortunately, as every funeral ceremony is as different as the one whom they are honouring. That said, we will always work as hard as we can to ensure things move ahead promptly and smoothly. We will also make sure that you are updated readily every step of the way. Should you have any questions from your side, we’re here to help when you need us.

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 Rotherham 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.
