Excellent service from Aura
Aura provided an excellent service, especially considering that they were only contacted a few days before my father passed away.
They were very clear on the options available for cremation and were always sympathetic and quick to respond to queries.
I am happy to recommend them unreservedly.

Excellent, friendly and informative. Jimmy was easy to talk to and answered my questions with ease. My experience with Aura could not have gone smoother. The price was explained to me in full. I have already recommended Aura to two people and I know that one will definitely use you. Thankyou again for your time consideration and compassion. Regards John.

Aura direct cremation plan
We purchased a direct cremation plan with Aura a couple of months before a relative passed away. I cannot recommend Aura highly enough. All the key elements were simple and hassle-free. They are easy to contact, very understanding and kept us informed throughout the process from start to delivery of the ashes. 5 stars.

Family run
Looked at many direct cremation companies but as this was family run it persuaded my decision.
The setting up was very straight forward and spoke to a very nice gentleman.
