Matt was very friendly but I did think afterwards there were some questions I need answers for and thought he should have mentioned these things. I will call Aura at some point regarding these

Excellent and stress free

I requested a brochure, which arrived promptly. I then arranged for a callback.
Roddy was extremely friendly and helpful, he gave me all the information I needed and answered all the questions I had.
Arranging my funeral plan was simple and stress free. I set up a payment plan, and the paperwork arrived in good time.
I would happily recommend anyone to consider Aura.

Putting this plan in place was easy

Jimmy was so helpful, professional but shared my sense of humour which certainly made the process very easy.
I guess my only question would be is why the advertisements for Aura say funerals from £1195. I wasn't told anything about this. Having shared this matter here on my review, am still happy with the service I received from Jimmy.

Aura are competitive and efficient

Very pleasant member of staff. No pushy sales. Excellent communication and attentive also listened to what my specific needs were.
Good clear conversation in a friendly manner. Professional and efficient at all times. Happy with the funeral package I have purchased plus peace of mind that there is the option to cancel and get my money back if I dont want to proceed eg out of the country etc circumstances change etc no other service provides this offer.
Very clear and easy to understand/read on document received.
Overall happy using this company.

Friendly staff and easy process

The process was quite straightforward and the operator was helpful and knowledgeable. We just hope that it going to be a long time before we can rate them on the actual cremation part of the service.

Aura has compassion, good values and vision

I wanted to organise the cremation of my body years in advance(hopefully) for peace of mind of myself to know that my family and friends do not have to worry about these things while grieving. The company stands out regarding compassion, values and vision. Very helpful on the phone and everything was set up very quickly
