A trusted service from our family to yours

”After I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, I started thinking about my funeral. I didn't want my family to spend thousands of pounds on a high-end coffin or expensive limousines, but I also wanted high quality service. The most important thing for me was that I wanted to know that my family would be in trusted hands when the time came. That's why me, my son and an expert team created Aura - to provide exceptional service at a low cost. No less than what I'd want for my own family“

What makes a prepaid funeral plan a good investment for the future?: Securing a prepaid funeral plan offers both financial and emotional benefits, which is why people include it in their future planning.

This foresight ensures that your exact wishes for your farewell are documented and honoured, providing peace of mind. It also alleviates the emotional and financial burden on your loved ones during a time of grief, as they won't be faced with making difficult decisions or bearing unexpected expenses. Additionally, most plans offer flexible payment options and secure your funds in a trust, ensuring they are protected and available when needed, simplifying end-of-life arrangements for everyone involved.
