Aura Flights Verified listing

Aura Flights is a space agency that focuses on offering space burials. We utilise bespoke technology to allow individuals the opportunity to scatter the ashes of their loved ones in a beautiful cascade high above the earth in space.

Our passengers travel in a spacecraft lifted by a hydrogen-filled stratospheric balloon. When the craft reaches 100,000 feet (32,500 metres) above the Earth, the intelligent scatter vessel at the heart of the craft opens to release the ashes in a gentle cascade. We scatter the full complement of ashes, with each flight dedicated to a single passenger or couple.

Over the following 6 months, the passenger's ashes traverse the entire planet, spreading out to cover every corner of the globe. In time, they descend into the upper atmosphere, mingle with pockets of water vapour, and finally return to the Earth as raindrops and snowflakes.

The spacecraft is equipped with two space-capable 4K cameras, which film the launch, ascent, and moment of release. Following the flight, we transform the footage into a personalised memorial video for friends and family, incorporating photographs, written messages, and video clips from the passenger's life.

Not only is a space scattering an incredible way to celebrate a loved one, it's also surprisingly affordable: at £2950, our memorial scattering service costs less than the average traditional funeral.
