A Meaningful Farewell
Ashes Scattering Near
Football Stadiums
A Thoughtful Tribute for Lifelong Supporters
For many people, their football club was an important part of their life. Years of attending matches, watching games with friends and family, and following the team through the seasons can create a deep connection to a particular stadium.
Honouring a Lifelong Connection
In some cases, it may be possible to arrange an ashes scattering ceremony at a suitable nearby location overlooking or close to the stadium they supported.
For families who wish to honour that connection, this can create a meaningful and personal tribute.
Scattering Ashes Near a Football Ground
Football pitches themselves are protected sporting venues, so ashes cannot be scattered directly on the pitch.
However, where suitable locations exist nearby, we may be able to arrange a respectful aerial scattering ceremony within view of the stadium or in the surrounding area.
- Nearby rivers or canals
- Coastal locations close to the stadium
- Parks or open land nearby
- Waterfront areas overlooking the ground
| Stadium | Location |
|---|---|
| Everton | Southampton |

| Inverness | Manchester United |
| Manchester United | Liverpool |
| Manchester United | Sunderland |

Please note: every location is subject to permissions, airspace restrictions, safety requirements and conditions beyond our control. For that reason, we can never guarantee a service at any specific stadium.
Aerial Ashes Scattering by Drone
Our specialist drones allow ashes to be released gently from the air, creating a calm and dignified moment.
A typical ceremony may include:
- A small group of family or friends gathering at the location
- A short moment of reflection
- The drone releasing the ashes over water or open land
- A quiet opportunity for everyone present to remember their loved one
Optional Filming of the Ceremony
If appropriate, the ceremony can also be filmed using aerial footage.
Where the location allows, this may include views of the surrounding area and, in some cases, the stadium itself in the background.
Many families appreciate having a simple video record of the moment to keep or share with relatives who were unable to attend.

Communication was excellent throughout the process and as a family we are so happy that we chose to use Ariel ashes. We trusted Matt entirely and would recommend others to choose such a fantastic team to carry out their loved one’s final wishes. Lastly, to have a video that we are able to share with friends and family who were unable to attend on the day is invaluable. Unique and spectacular! Many thanks.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt and the team are very professional in their approach to giving service to such a personal occasion. They made us feel at ease and, with care and compassion the ashes ceremony was beautifully carried out. With live streaming and a video keepsake for those unable to attend it is a truly a complete and satisfying memory to cherish for all the family.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aerial Ashes Ltd came to Trearddur Bay yesterday to scatter my brother's ashes by drone. My cousin, her husband and two friends joined me for this special occasion. We all gathered at 7 am and the weather was perfect. In a strange way it was enjoyable and not sombre and a wonderful way to celebrate my brother's life - he was always adventurous and I hope he would have been pleased. Thank you Aerial Ashes for making this a perfect day.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The day was a perfect, not a cloud in the sky, about 50 degrees, quiet, peaceful with the songs of many birds in the air along the River bank of the Thames. The selection of a resting place for our loved one was thoughtfully done. We could not have picked a more perfect place ourselves. Aerial Ashes looked after all the logistical details, which allowed our family to focus on the remembrance and memories of our loved one. We came away from the scattering experience feeling we had done what our loved one wanted and that our family member will rest in peace knowing she was loved and well remembered. We carry with us now good the memories of the day which honored the legacy of love and joy of our loved one. This will forever dwell in our hearts as a gentle reminder of the beautiful soul that graced our lives.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow, it's hard to put into words what a wonderful experience we had with Aerial Ashes. Right from the first contact enquiring about scattering my Dad's ashes at sea off Aldeburgh Beach through to and including the actual scattering, we couldn't have asked for better. Christopher was friendly, efficient, accommodating and extremely professional throughout. As a result we had complete faith in him, no stress at all, which enabled us to concentrate on farewelling Dad in the way he wished. On the morning itself Christopher was joined by his colleague Matt who was equally lovely. They handled Dad's ashes very respectfully and liaised well with our priest who gave the committal service during which the drone carrying Dad's ashes was launched. The flight itself was beautiful, no rush, the drone flew around for a while while we watched, it was all so peaceful. When the ashes were finally released it almost felt spiritual, so gentle and peaceful...we watched as they floated and then gently disappeared. What a wonderful experience, it has really helped my family in our grief. The whole event was conducted sensitively and professionally by Christopher and Matt who made it all feel very personal, at no time did I feel that this was 'just a job' to them. Although they didn't know Dad, I felt as if they did and that we were a team on the day. We had the flight filmed by Matt via a second drone. The resulting video was sent to us within 3 days of the event and is very high quality - high and low resolution versions with some stills also. My family and I will cherish these forever. I highly recommend Aerial Ashes to you!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting the team from Aerial Ashes when we decided to release our Dad's ashes by drone over one of his favourite places. The lads where Amazing such kind and caring people who took the time to speak to everyone and explain anything that was asked. It's a different and unique way of releasing ashes by air and it bridged the generation gap and made everyone in attendance feel included very different than the usual way of scattering ashes. What started as a sad day for final farewells ended with sharing memories of happier times and gave us memories that will last forever. We can not thank aerial ashes enough for all they did on the day to make the day special for young and old
