About Us

Founded by former RAF pilot Christopher Mace and now led by Matt Young, Aerial Ashes is the world's leading provider of scattering ashes by drone. Our mission is to provide dignified, accessible, and environmentally conscious memorials that reflect the unique lives of those we commemorate. We are proud to offer multi-award-winning aerial ashes scattering ceremonies – providing families a fitting farewell at their choice of beautiful and sentimental locations across the UK.

Why Choose Aerial Ash Scattering?

A Beautiful Tribute Without the Unexpected Moments

Scattering ashes yourself—especially in the open air—can be unpredictable and emotional. Many families come to us after a difficult DIY experience, where wind, weather, or location turned a heartfelt moment into an unintended distressing one.

At Aerial Ashes, we offer a serene, respectful, and dignified farewell using drone technology—not as a gimmick, but as a graceful way to honour your loved one’s memory from above. Our team conducts every ceremony with care and compassion, ensuring your final goodbye is as peaceful as it is memorable.

Let us help you create a truly meaningful moment—without the worry.
