Your ashes in the outer space: an out-of-this-world memorial

There are many ways to say goodbye to a loved one and celebrate their time on planet Earth, however, nothing implies that this person should end “completely” on Earth.

Your ashes in the outer space: an out-of-this-world memorial

In the past few years, different posthumous services have become popular, such as themed burials or cremation and release of remains in special places. The decision of what to do with the ashes of a deceased loved one is not a simple one. Do I want them to be at home with me? Do I want to throw them somewhere in particular?

How about throwing them into space?

There are several companies that offer services related to the latter category. While with some companies you can send the cremated remains of a loved one in a capsule into space to be brought back, other firms even offer to release these ashes into outer space.


The services offered by companies like Aura Flights, can turn this into a more than memorable memory. Aura Flights is a company from the United Kingdom that performs “Memorial flights”, that is, they are able to take capsules into space and throw ashes into it, as well as record the entire process and create a personalized memorial of each person.

With science and technology, Aura Flights has developed a safe and 
environmentally friendly service, in which you can schedule a Memorial Flight in just 4 steps. 

Once your payment has been confirmed, you only have to schedule the day of the “flight” through a registration form.

Then you must deliver the ashes of that person, either through your own delivery at their offices located in Sheffield, or with their specialized service in collection and care of ashes.

After this, during the following week and in communication with the Civil Aviation Authority, UK Space Agency and Air Traffic Control organisations, the day of take-off will be scheduled. Once this date is selected, you will be notified of the schedule and the launch of the capsule will proceed.

Finally, Memorial Flights will carry out the process of releasing the ashes, along with the recording of the process, followed by the creation of the memorial, which will be sent to the families and then published on your website.

How much does it cost to make a Memorial Flight?

According to the official site, the cost of the process, including the recording and creation of the memorial is £3,950, which corresponds to a little over $5,000.
