Airborne photographs and video have been a popular choice from some of our clients.
The benefit this brings is the ease with which video can subsequently be shared with other family members or where a framed airborne photograph is desired. This service requires an additional drone pilot with photographic equipment, followed by video editing and/or photo framing as required.
Adding a further ash drone has the benefit of enabling ashes scattering of more than one person, in a coordinated release, over the same piece of land or water. This has been popular with clients who have held the ashes of both their parents and wanted them scattering together. This service requires an additional drone pilot with a further ash drone.

"Elevate Farewell Ceremonies: Drone Ash Scattering as a Meaningful Alternative to Traditional Funerals"
Saying goodbye to a loved one is a deeply personal experience, and drone ash scattering offers a modern, heartfelt way to celebrate their life from new heights. Unlike traditional burial or direct cremation alone, scattering ashes by drone creates a unique, memorable tribute, allowing families to release ashes in a beautiful location—whether over the ocean, mountains, or a favorite scenic spot. This eco-friendly, respectful approach lets families honourfavourite the wishes of their loved ones and create a lasting moment for reflection.
Drone ash scattering following a direct cremation offers a serene, aerial view that’s both symbolic and visually impactful, making it a perfect alternative for those looking to personalise their farewells beyond traditional funerals. With professional drone pilots guiding every flight, families can choose stunning locations that held significance for the deceased. This modern farewell helps bring peace and closure, blending innovation with tradition to allow loved ones to rest where they found joy.
Whether you’re looking to avoid the limitations of traditional cremation or are seeking a dignified and environmentally conscious send-off, ash scattering by drone creates a timeless tribute from above.
