What We Do
What We Do
At Aerial Ashes, we offer a heartfelt and innovative service, helping families scatter cremated ashes in beautiful, meaningful locations using drones. Our aim is to provide a dignified, accessible, and environmentally conscious way to honour your loved one's memory, allowing their ashes to be released over cherished landscapes across the UK.
Where We Operate
We operate throughout the UK, offering the flexibility to scatter ashes over a variety of locations that hold personal significance. Whether it's a serene coastal area, a beloved countryside spot, or a meaningful landmark, we work closely with families to select the ideal location. Scattering ashes at sea and operating from the beach is usually less complicated, and we operate all around the UK coastline.
Our Equipment
Aerial Ashes uses the DJI Matrice M600 Pro drone as the principal ash-carrying airframe due to its stable and reliable characteristics and its medium lift capability. Each drone is fitted with specially modified carbon fibre boxes designed for scattering ashes, capable of carrying the ashes of one person. For filming and photography, we use professional-grade video drones to ensure high-quality, cinematic footage of each ceremony
Airborne Photography
To help families commemorate these meaningful moments, we offer stunning aerial photography services. Our drones can capture unique airborne photographs during the ash scattering ceremony, providing a lasting visual memory of the occasion.

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.Trustindex 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.

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.Trustindex 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.Trustindex 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!Trustindex 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
