When nowhere on Earth feels grand enough...
When an exceptional person passes away, they deserve to be remembered and celebrated in an exceptional way.
But picking the right location to scatter a loved one's ashes can be a fraught process at a time of grief.
How do you commemorate the person whose spirit shone brighter than most?
...choose the ultimate adventure
Aura Flights scatters each passenger's ashes over 100,000 feet above the Earth in the inky black of space.
Here, they spread out to travel around the entire planet for 3–6 months, before finally settling across the globe as rainfall and snowflakes to become one with nature again.
It's the ultimate final adventure for a life well-lived, all for £3950 — less than the price of a traditional funeral service.

How does it work?
Each passenger travels in their own personal scatter vessel, lifted by biodegradable balloons filled with renewable hydrogen gas — meaning no fuel and no harmful emissions.
At 100,000 feet, in the region of Near Space, their ashes are released in a gentle cascade against the stunning backdrop of our home planet floating in the vacuum.
They spend the next 3–6 months travelling around the planet, spreading out to cover the whole world, before finally floating back down through the atmosphere mixed in with rain and snow. Trace nutrients enrich the soil, fostering new life wherever they land.
Meanwhile, nothing is left behind: the scatter vessel parachutes safely back to Earth to our pre-planned landing zone, where our team are on hand to collect the equipment, which can be reused many times over on future flights.
Each passenger travels on their own dedicated flight. The ascent and release are captured on video to create a personalised memorial film, for friends and family to commemorate their loved one’s incredible final journey.
