professionally delivered with the utmost care and compassion. Their team ensures everything is
taken care of, from permissions and planning to the moment itself, allowing you and your family to
focus entirely on remembering and honouring your loved one.
Aerial Ashes Services Include
Nationwide drone scattering ceremonies at meaningful and scenic locations

A professionally edited tribute video, set to music, capturing the beauty and emotion of the day
Why Families Choose Aerial Ashes
Whether following a traditional funeral or a direct cremation, drone-based ashes scattering offers a
powerful moment of closure, without the formality or limitations of a fixed venue. For many families,

Knowing your loved one now rests somewhere special, perhaps a favourite beach, hilltop, or lake,
can bring comfort that lasts a lifetime.
Let us help you create a lasting tribute that truly reflects your loved one’s life, values, and spirit.
