Legal Requirements
The Law on Scattering Ashes in the UK
At Aerial Ashes, we operate under the specific guidelines set by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) within what is termed the Specific Class. This means our operations are subject to rigorous annual scrutiny to ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards. The CAA’s regulations are focused on safety, including stipulating heights, distances from uninvolved persons, and operational zones. All tasks performed by Aerial Ashes are carefully planned and conducted within the parameters of the authority granted, ensuring we meet all legal requirements for drone operations.
At Aerial Ashes
When it comes to scattering ashes on land, it is essential to obtain the landowner’s permission. This is a legal requirement that applies not only to drone operators but to anyone wishing to scatter ashes on private property or land. At Aerial Ashes, we take the necessary steps to identify land ownership and obtain the required permissions, ensuring everything is conducted lawfully.
Scattering ashes at sea or from the beach tends to be less complicated, as there are established legal permissions for conducting such activities over UK waterways. However, even in these instances, Aerial Ashes always ensures that the scattering takes place in an approved and legally permissible area.
Aerial Ashes Drone Operators
All Aerial Ashes drone operators are fully licensed by the CAA, operate within the boundaries of, and are covered by comprehensive third-party liability insurance. This ensures a safe, respectful, and fully compliant scattering ceremony for your loved one
