Scattering ashes by drone enables cremation remains to be finely and cleanly dispersed over land or sea leaving hardly a trace.
Aerial Ashes provide this service using fully licensed drones and offer a truly memorable event at meaningful locations whilst removing the anxiety some have with scattering ashes themselves.
Our ash-carrying drones are fitted with a unique and bespoke load-box.
Designed to carry all of the cremation remains, the load carrying box is opened remotely, when you’re ready, from a switch on the controls of the ground-based handset.
Our service includes the management of all permissions and arrangements necessary to meet your airborne ashes-scattering requirements and the choice of location is largely up to you.

Aerial Ashes Tri-State, a quick introduction
"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.
