Ever wondered how we scatter ashes by drone?
At Aerial Ashes, families often ask us: “How exactly do you scatter ashes by drone?” It’s a question that combines curiosity with care, and we’re always happy to explain. Our process is designed to be dignified, professional, and completely safe, ensuring your loved one’s final journey is handled with the utmost respect.
The drone technology
We use professional-grade drones equipped with a specially designed ashes scattering device. This allows us to release the ashes gently and precisely at the chosen location – whether that’s over the sea, a lake, the countryside, or a place of personal meaning. Unlike traditional hand-scattering, the drone ensures the ashes are carried gracefully by the wind, creating a beautiful and symbolic farewell.
Planning the ceremony
Before the flight, we work closely with families to plan the perfect moment. You’ll choose the location, time of day, and whether you’d like to be present at the scattering or watch from a distance. Many families like to incorporate readings, music, or a quiet moment of reflection before the release. You can read more about our ashes scattering ceremonies and the different options we offer.
Safety and professionalism
As a fully licensed and insured drone operator, we take care of all permissions, safety checks, and flight planning. Our team is experienced in conducting ceremonies at sea, on clifftops, and in open countryside, always with respect for local regulations and the environment. To learn more about drone regulations in the UK, you can visit the Civil Aviation Authority website.
