The crematorium is now offering two new options which involves ashes being taken into space
A Nottinghamshire crematorium is offering families two new options for the cremated remains of a loved one which are out of this world. Gedling Crematorium is now offering new services called the Memorial Launch and the Voyager Package, which involves ashes being scattered in space.
The ashes are then released in a gentle cascade around 100,000 feet above the earth and spend the next three-to-six months orbiting the globe until they re-enter the atmosphere, where they seed the formation of clouds and fall back to earth as raindrops and snowflakes all over the world.The ascent and release of the ashes are captured on video to create a treasured memorial for families of the event.
“For centuries, man has looked up at the stars and dreamed of going into space; while few of us ever get to do this during our lifetimes, there is now the option to travel into space for your final journey.
