Legal Requirements
Laws on scattering ashes in Pennsylvania, New York, & OhioThe law on scattering ashes
Aerial Ashes operate in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines. Much of the regulation is based on safety which is covered by adhering to stipulated heights and distances from uninvolved persons; all Aerial Ashes tasks are necessarily flown within the authority given and this forms a large part of our planning process.
There are no laws in Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio that prohibit ash scattering over land. Aerial Ashes uses a variety of resources to establish land ownership and seek permission. Scattering ashes at sea and operating from the beach is usually less complicated. In all cases, Aerial Ashes will only ever release ashes over an approved area.
All Aerial Ashes drone operators are licensed by the FAA, operate within the approved Operating Authority and are covered by extensive 3rd party liability insurance.
Chris Mace perfected scattering ashes from a helicopter whilst a pilot in RAF. Upon retirement, he applied this knowledge to the drone industry, again perfecting scattering ashes.
Matt Young joined the company and continued the success of Aerial Ashes expanding to regional teams across the UK, and now into the United States.
Amy Wellington is the first to bring Aerial Ashes to the United States by offering these services in western Pennsylvania and New York, as well as eastern Ohio.
