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 is a direct cremation, and how does it work in Stafford?: Direct cremation is a straightforward, no fuss funeral, that skips the traditional ceremony. In Stafford, Aura arranges this service with respect, bringing the person who has died into our care; transporting them to the crematorium in a private ambulance; conducting the cremation; and returning the ashes to the family, allowing them to hold a personal memorial if they wish. Please note that a small fee will apply to hand-delivery of ashes, but that we can scatter them on your behalf at the crematorium’s own Garden of Remembrance at no extra cost.

How much does a direct cremation cost in Stafford?: Aura’s direct cremation services start at £1,195, providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional funerals. This starting price is less than half of the average UK traditional funeral cost of £4,285, as per information from SunLife. Our affordable option allows families in Stafford to arrange a dignified farewell without financial strain. You can read the following article to learn more about direct cremation prices.

Can families attend a direct cremation in Stafford?: Yes, Aura offers both attended and unattended direct cremations in Stafford, giving families the option to be present at a local crematorium, if they prefer. This flexibility allows each family to choose a service that aligns with their wishes and provides a meaningful farewell. Our attended options are available from £2,095.

How long does it take to arrange a direct cremation in Stafford?: Our cremation process is efficient, with most arrangements in Stafford completed quickly, depending on family preferences and necessary legal requirements. Please be aware that we can’t provide an accurate timeframe in advance, as each funeral is different from the next. But rest assured that Aura’s team guarantees every step is handled with care and respect, and that you will always be regularly updated of our progress.

Why choose Aura’s direct cremation services in Stafford?: Aura’s direct cremation services provide Stafford families with a compassionate, affordable alternative to traditional funerals. With the support of our Aura Angels, we prioritise transparency, dignity, and empathy, making Aura a trusted choice for those seeking a simple and respectful farewell.

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 Stafford 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.
