You’re too good to be buried in the ground.
You deserve something a little more out there. Something out of this world. You’ll get it in a second.
You should send your ashes into space.
And thankfully, you can.
No, we’re not talking about your dodgy uncle who says he’ll send things into the stars for £20 but actually just buries them in the back garden.
Ascension Flights is launching a handy new service next month that will carry cremated remains 22 miles up to be released into the stratosphere, allowing ashes to flow wild and free through the expanse of our universe. Fun.
The package is pretty pricey, costing upwards of £795, but this does include the option of relatives attending the take-off and tracking the funeral balloon’s progress online. The scattering is filmed on HD camera, so you can keep the memory of your mate’s body flying into space ’til the end of your days.
