Dignified and heartwarming service

Chris was so attentive to our needs and extremely sensitive and supportive throughout. His kind words were very welcome and he put us both at ease during a very difficult and sad time. The scattering was done with so much dignity and thought, these are the small things you can’t put a price on. Thank you Chris, you made a difficult time heart warming, respectful and unforgettable.

Thank you for taking the time to give a review. And thank you for arranging to complete the wishes of a very particular and well remembered lady. We flew the drone was over the water, where I had scattered the ashes of her late husband almost 3-years earlier. It was exactly what she wanted.

The Perfect Solution to Aerial Scattering of Ashes

From our first point of contact through to the aerial scattering of the ashes Christoper handled our request with both efficiency and respect. Aerial Ashes were the only company we could find to help us fulfil our relative's wish to be cast into the sky from a height and thank goodness we did find them. The scattering was both a joyful release for our relative and special moment made perfect as it was accompanied by the rising sun over the sea in Suffolk. Totally recommend Aerial Ashes.

- awesome

- awesome, perfect with such an amazing amount of care and so professional. Easy to talk to the team about the place, time etc , discuss and understand all of the arrangements. Obviously an emotional day for us and they were so very in tune with our feelings. There was a lot of reflection and celebration of my partner Paul's life - they made the moment so very special, the biggest thank you to the pilots on the day and thank you Aerial Ashes x

Fantastic service

Very compassionate and understanding. Time keeping and contact was excellent and they travelled to Scotland to scatter the ashes on the River Spey. Would highly recommend the company.

Thank you for taking the time to review. We were blessed with a stunning morning over a beautiful river way up in Scotland. It was a magnificent setting and the furthest north we’ve been to date.

A sensitive and moving experience

Christopher and the Aerial Ashes team handled our special occasion sensitively and with a real attention to detail. Everyone in the family commented on how beautiful the experience was, and how the team struck just exactly the right tone throughout.
I have no hesitation in recommending the team and their service. An immense thanks from us all.

Thank you for taking the time to review. The scattering from the drone high above the sea off the south coast and with a gentle northerly breeze worked extremely well.

Aerial Ashes of Stokesley - Ashes released by Drone

We recently had the pleasure of meeting the team from Aerial Ashes when we decided to release our Dad's ashes by drone over one of his favourite places.
The lads where Amazing such kind and caring people who took the time to speak to everyone and explain anything that was asked. It's a different and unique way of releasing ashes by air and it bridged the generation gap and made everyone in attendance feel included very different than the usual way of scattering ashes. What started as a sad day for final farewells ended with sharing memories of happier times and gave us memories that will last forever.
We can not thank aerial ashes enough for all they did on the day to make the day special for young and old

Thank you for taking the time to review. Your efforts with the team at Redcar Racecourse certainly helped in the early stages of planning and between us we achieved our first scattering over a racecourse.
You had a superb attitude towards involving all generations of your family and their involvement on the day was lovely.

A most professional and empathetic company

This company is very professional. We were so pleased with the experience they gave us in scattering my late husband's ashes, which they carried out with sensitivity, empathy and expertise. I can totally recommend them for creating a very memorable occasion, as well as the follow-up video photography which we were able to share with those not able to be present.

Aerial Ashes are exceptional professionals

Aerial Ashes scatter the ashes of loved ones by drone. They take care of everything. The only thing we had to do as a family was to turn up on the day with my brother-in-laws ashes. There was one quoted fee with no hidden extras. They were understanding and respectful at all times and their communication was prompt and clear. This method of scattering provided us with a closure that we didn’t know we needed. Aerial Ashes have been outstanding, they are highly recommended.

Exemplary service

Aerial Ashes were exemplary to deal with from start to finish. They had excellent communication and helpful suggestions right from the beginning.
On the day of the scattering, they were sympathetic explained the whole process. The flight and location were perfect for my Aunt, who was a pilot.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. Excellent.

Christopher was a delight to deal with

Christopher was a delight to deal with. He made a difficult time very easy and was very quick to respond to any queries from us.

He was extremely thorough in planning and on the day was sensitive and professional and the photos and video we received were excellent.

Highly recommended

We wanted a special send off for Mum and Dad

We wanted a special send off for my mum and dad's ashes and right from the first point of contact, Chris was very helpful in taking us through what was involved.

Our first choice of location was unfortunately denied by the Local Authority however the second one, on the seafront, was in hindsight more spectacular.

The launch itself was very professionally handled and Chris offered options on the flight path and height so we could all get the best view. I was also able to push the button to release the ashes - all in all a very memorable and fitting send off for mum and dad and witnessed by the family.

Scattering Ashes by Drone

My Dad passed away in December and we asked Aerial Ashes to help scatter his ashes at a local beauty spot called Cruden Bay on his birthday in February. The North Sea, the scottish skyline and the bay provided a magnificent backdrop to mark the moment. Aerial Ashes were professional, attentive, patient and compassionate and have provided a very special and unforgetable experience with which to add to our memories of a special man. My Mum, who could not attend through ill-health, thought the images of the drone scattering ashes were beautiful and has asked for the same when the time comes. There were no wings on the drone, but it was the work of the angels nonetheless.

Thank you for your kind words. This was Aerial Ashes first task north of the border and the scenery around Cruden Bay was magnificent. A deserted beach with glimpses of sunshine allowed spectacular photography and a truly memorable occasion.

An exceptional company that delivered.

An exceptional company that delivered exactly what they said they would, seemlessly, from collecting my late parents ashes to their scattering, as my father had desired, of both over the North Sea.

They communicated with us, told us what would happen and did exactly that with very prompt delivery of a still shot and video footage of the scattering event.

It was all we wished for.

Thank you for your kind words. We found a beautiful afternoon and sent the two large drones out to sea as far as we could with the tiny video drone in company throughout. The images were spectacular and memorable.

A beautiful goodbye

I came across Aerial Ashes when looking for a
special way to have my Mum and Dad's ashes scattered.
Chris, Charlie and Nige were so professional and caring throughout and I really cannot thank them enough for everything. I had 2 drones on the day which took my parents up above a place they both loved. It was very special and the video I received was absolutely amazing. I can highly recommend this service as a beautiful farewell to someone you love. Thank you so much Aerial Ashes.

Thank you for your kind words Sarah. In this case it was really important to be in the right place on the right day. You helped tremendously with getting permission to use the land; thereafter, it was our pleasure to play our part for you. We were very lucky with the weather too!

Dignified and beautiful...

I found Aerial ashes after a family member recommended their services. My dad had expressed a wish to have his ashes scattered at a beautiful but rugged stretch of coastline in South Wales, Rhossili Bay. Having been involved in the Berlin Airlift during his National Service, I suspected he would find the concept of having his ashes scattered by drone very apt.
Co-ordination and communication about the event with Christopher was exceptional and he showed great sensitivity and professionalism in helping us create a memorable occasion for our family.
On the day itself, We gathered close to sunset; Christopher was accompanied by Charlie and together they made sure we were looked after and our wishes followed so that we could scatter my dads ashes with dignity and reverence.
When the ashes were released, they floated away on the wind over the sea and land and it was truly
beautiful..
I can wholeheartedly recommend this service as a beautiful and dignified way to scatter the ashes of a loved one.

Truly memorable...Thank you!

I can highly recommend this company and I cannot thank them enough. Chris and Charlie provided an outstanding professional and sensitive service with the utmost dignity and respect and where nothing was too much trouble. Working together, we were able to give my husband a moving and touching final goodbye as unique as his life. He was released over the sea that he loved and in a place that has fond memories for us as a family, making the whole occasion meaningful and special for us all. The photos and videos are exceptional and perfectly captured the moment. I am so thankful we found you.

What a fantastic Company

My husband and I were absolutely delighted to come upon the Aerial Ashes website, as the perfect answer to a relative’s wishes. The gentleman, who had RAF connections, had wished for his ashes to be scattered from the air into the sea, but over the intervening 11 years, this had not been possible, until now.

Not wishing to divulge personal information, may I just say that we have found that this Company has surpassed all of our expectations. We have had a huge amount of contact, sensitively seeking out our wishes, venues, etc and I can only echo everything other reviewers have made comment upon. The service received was outstanding and of course, extremely professional. Thank you so much Aerial Ashes.
