Ashesinspace Reviews

Excellent compassionate service Beautiful footage

Fantastic service Caring understanding and thoughtful throughout Thank you for making my Brothers final wish happen Absolutely amazing

I came to this having never had to consider anything like it until my late brother asked for it to be his way of having his ashes scattered He was a great traveller and he wanted this to be his last journey From the moment I first contacted Aura Flights the process has been very easy to arrange Samantha at Aura was available on the phone and through emails to both explain and guide me through the process Samantha took care of the arrangements to collect my brother s ashes from the undertaker and she and her team worked with me to get our words pictures and music added to the video of the launch and subsequent release of the ashes Within hours we received a spectacular still shot of the release and a few days later we were given the YouTube private area link to watch the video I have shared the video link with my freinds as well as my brother s as the release was also simply spectacular most of the comments I got back were just Wow I am sure you will understansd when I say I hope it is a long time before I have to do something like this again but I would not hesitate to use Aura again I have now had to scatter the ashes of both my parents and buried one of my brothers This by far was the most memorable way to go We had a very basic Covid time cremation for my brother with only the hearse a short ceremony and then the cremation However that was almost twice the cost of the space launch and I am sure that my brother would have appreciated the space launch far more We were also able to share the moment with his friends and family around the world We were not able to have the day that we wished for for the launch but this is due to atmospheric conditions and it was cleasly explained to me from the beginning by Samantha However frankly that did not matter After all you are a long time dead so what does the odd day matter uin the scheme of things This was an excellent way to send my brother off I am sure he would have loved it

They were so caring and dignified they kept us informed on what was happening they were there to answer your questions and it was nice to know that Elle was there to make you feel part of the journey it was so comforting and serene thank you so much would highly recommend this as your final journey for your loved one until we meet again Dave love jan x

What a lovely service Really prompt to reply Wonderful photos It was very emotional to see the video but in a positive way So pleased I chose them

I am very grateful to the Aura Flights team for creating the option of scattering ashes in space there is nothing else that would have been appropriate for my fianc s ashes Everyone involved with the process was respectful and thoughtful throughout and I totally agree with a previous review about being appreciative of having one person as the contact throughout Samantha in our case - she couldn t have been more helpful and caring Being able to watch the launch on live-feed made us feel like we were there and it was great to have the link so we could send it to loved ones so that they could also feel part of it especially as the funeral was in lockdown I really appreciated the respect and dignity you could see from the team members at the launch Following the launch it was wonderful to see the flight highlights and scatter on the USB and to be able to buy additional photos USBs and DVDs to send to family and friends The photos and video are absolutely stunning and to be able to watch the ashes being released is a very emotional experience - a moment of joy to be treasured Thank you Aura Flights

My husband was a proper English man He loved his family astronomy space and Pink Floyd He believed to enjoy life you Don t count the days but make the days count When he was diagnosed we discussed what services he wanted A space memorial was his only request I initially tried another company Celestis however my husband s remains were left in a bank vault for almost 2 years postponement after postponement excuse after excuse It took me months of emails phone calls etc to get him back and they basically in my opinion are in it for the money For the record the launch he was scheduled for has been postponed again recently making it the 5th or 6th time I then looked into a 2nd company Beyond Burials but I could not confirm any reviews or get straight answers from them Yet I was determined to give this to my husband as one of his final wishes I was lucky enough to find Aura Flights From the beginning Douglas in the U S location could not have been more helpful and caring He not only arranged everything here but handled and coordinated getting my husband back to the UK location for his launch and on top of this he worked diligently with the Aura team to have my husband s launch occur on what would have been his 75th birthday at our request Doug stayed in contact with me throughout this journey and kept me updated on everything I cannot say enough about Aura Flights and I thank their team in the US and the UK for making this happen

What can I say my grandfather Brian was always very clear that he didn t want a traditional funeral he wanted to leave his body to science but unfortunately that couldn t happen because of the pandemic so we had to find something else to do This came up through a Google search and it was absolutely perfect The Aura Flights team kept me posted months before the actual launch with Samantha collecting Brian s ashes personally the day before so I had none of the usual stresses of planning a funeral The actual flight was breathtaking and Aura offer so many keepsakes which are great for family and friends who couldn t attend or simply for yourself to be able to look back on It s a comfort for all the family to be able to look up at the sky and think of Brian up there on an adventure that most people will never have Everyone I have shared this with thinks it s an absolutely incredible idea they have all been stunned that it s even possible but I would definitely recommend We will always be grateful to the whole Aura team for giving us this experience

Thank you very much for your services

I had a hard time trying to decide where to scatter my Dad s ashes He was such a wonderful man and a brilliant father and nowhere seemed good enough for him to go until I discovered Aura Flights Giving him the opportunity to be scattered above the Earth and allowing his ashes to travel the globe for weeks months before coming back down in rain and snow seemed like the only possible option for a man filled with so much greatness From the beginning Aura Fights were brilliant to deal with They answered all my questions so quickly made the process as painless as possible and kept me up to date the whole way through The live stream of the launch was both touching and informative and the first draft of the video was send over so quickly On top of that they send me an updated video with all my amendment requests within 24 hours and then I received the hard copy in the mail not long after Throughout the process there were no issues and the team were fantastic to deal with I could not recommend Aura Flights any higher for the service they provide If you want to give a loved one a unique send off this is definitely the way to go
