About Us
Who are Aura Flights?
Aura Flights helps passengers embark on the ultimate final adventure: scattering their ashes in space. Since 2017, we've conducted ashes scattering space flights that have gently released hundreds of passengers into the arms of the stratospheric winds. We're partnered with Sent Into Space, the global leader in Near Space launches, to guarantee safety, quality and a perfect result every time.
You may have seen our earlier incarnation, Ascension Flights, on Dragons' Den. We turned down Deborah Meaden’s investment offer to keep building our service the way our customers deserved. With a flawless 5-star Trustpilot record, and representation in more than 1,000 UK funeral homes, we've become the trusted name in stratospheric memorials.
Above all, we're a people-first company. We don't believe in chatbots, so you can always expect a real, personal contact with our customer care team throughout the memorial launch journey. That same care extends to our planet: throughout every stage of the process, from manufacturing to recovery, we take environmental conservation seriously. Whether you're booking a flight for yourself or a loved one, you can rest assured that we'll go above and beyond to create the perfect send-off.
What is Aura?
In modern parlance, an aura is a distinctive quality, character or atmosphere that emanates from a person, place or thing. The word comes from Ancient Greek, where it means ‘breath’, or ‘a gentle breeze’.
Our planet’s aura is the atmosphere, which becomes visible as a blue glow on the planet's curve only when viewed from space. The atmosphere is the breath of the planet, created by all living organisms on Earth.
When someone we love passes away, their breath fades and their unique character is no longer a part of our daily lives. By scattering their ashes in space, we allow their essence to become a part of the aura of our planet, so we can remember and celebrate them whenever we look up at the stars or spend time outside enjoying the beauty of the natural world.
