Phoned round a few cremation businesses and decided on Aura as the company is a family run business and the staff were so easy to talk to. They took the time to answer all my questions. I took about 3 weeks to decide and there was no pressure from them to take a plan. Other companies were sending emails every other day.

The chap on the phone listened to me.

I have hearing difficulties which I explained over the phone. All necessary info was immediately e mailed to me, along with the advice to take my time perusing it, as there was quite a lot. I subsequently rang back to arrange a plan and by utilising e mail and a brief phone call, completed the entire transaction. Thank you for your consideration and adaptability. Very satisfied.

After my lovely Dad passed away…

After my lovely Dad passed away, we contacted several companies but knew instantly after speaking to Aura (Tracy Field) that they were the one to choose. She put us at ease, was not only professional and knowledgeable but caring and compassionate and dealt with all our questions and concerns all the way through the process, keeping us constantly updated. The local Funeral Directors they used were professional and dignified and delivered my Dad’s ashes to my Mum in a tasteful urn. Although this wasn’t the major concern for us, the cost was very reasonable. We would highly recommend Aura to anyone looking for a direct cremation.

I've been thinking about sorting things…

I've been thinking about sorting things out for a while before i pop my clogs ..thinking for year's actually. As I'm getting older I thought I'd put things into action . I'd called a few funeral place's to see what was the best for my needs. Aurora! Stud out of all the calls I made , why....the lovely lady I spoke to (not sure if I can give names here ) was so intuitive to me and how I wanted things to go . She didn't try to sell me anything or up herself on likes or votes on forums or anything, she focused on me and what I needed , also gave me the option to think about things before i go ahead. Cost ! Yes for some of us money is an issue so I priced everything that the more advertisers charge to what Aurora charge for what I get . I get exactly what I want from Aurora for a better price. That's money out way. They are concise, give a very personal service and keep in touch after to make sure you have all your documents and are happy with everything, and reassure you that you can ask, inquire and speak to someone after all is settled and paid for if you are not happy you get your money back , what else could you ask for. I can't praise Aurora enough .
