Read more about how we can arrange for your final day on earth to be one to remember!
How do you want to be remembered? How do you celebrate a departed loved one who spent their life exploring and adventuring? We are all made of stardust. So when the time comes, why not let our dust return to the stars?
Ascension Flights is the premier space scattering service. Created by the world’s leading Near Space flight experts, our flight system carries the ashes to the edge of space and scatters them in a gentle cascade using our unique, purpose-designed scattering device.
Carried around the world by stratospheric winds, they will circle through the heavens before finally returning to Earth in rainfall and snowflakes. The ascent and moment of release can even be captured on video and made into a beautiful memorial film for you to treasure and share.
Our flight train and tracking system have been developed and perfected in our work as Sent Into Space. We have conducted over 400 flights in the last 8 years and maintain a 100% recovery record.The scatter mechanism was designed and built specifically to protect and scatter ashes.
We pride ourselves on the quality and reliability of our results, which is why we spent over two years testing and refining the mechanism until we were certain we could provide a perfect service every time.
Any of the following packages can be added to your funeral plan using the Smart Will App.
