Send your loved one on a breathtaking final journey to be scattered at the edge of space. This unique space burial service carries their ashes in a bespoke vessel to 100,000 feet above the Earth, where they are released in a beautiful cascade into the stratospheric winds which encircle the globe. Here they will travel for many months, spreading out across the planet, ultimately returning to Earth in rainfall or snowflakes in undetectable traces.
The journey is filmed by two on-board cameras, with the footage transformed into a personalised memorial video featuring photos and video clips of your loved one and set to music of your choice. All are welcome to attend the launch ceremony, either in person at their beautiful launch site in Sheffield, or remotely via video link.
Priced at £2450, this service is completely environmentally friendly, using renewable hydrogen to provide lift force, custom-manufactured balloons made of nontoxic, undyed, biodegradable latex (99% of which is recovered) and scattering your loved one’s ashes so widely that they will be undetectable at point of landing.

Each rocket is designed to carry 50 grams of your loved one’s ashes (200g in total). The pack includes 4 rockets, 4 launch tubes, goggles and portfires for lighting, as well as a safety guide and a certificate of authenticity.

Handmade in Somerset these extremely tactile, hand decorated keepsake urns have a wondrous beauty, with a stunning design on both sides of the pebble each
one is subtly different making it your very own unique memorial artwork.

Hand decorated. This technique of moulding and casting onto ceramic is both skilled and rare, the result is just fantastic.
Many people keep their loved one’s ashes at home, some because they are not sure what to do with them, some because they are not yet ready to
do something with them and some simply want to keep them close by, in the house.

But only you will know how you feel about the loss of your loved one and only you will know when and if the time is right to do something, if ever, with their ashes.
Until then these urns can keep the ashes safely and discreetly at home without you having to explain your reasons to anyone, if someone admires the beautiful urn then it is up to you whether you tell them or not.
