You’re Deciding What To Do With Cremated Ashes
This can happen right after a loss, or much later.
Most options follow familiar patterns:
Kept close.
Scattered.
Placed or buried somewhere.
For many families, none of them feel quite right.
They want something more connected, more continuous, less final.
Something that doesn’t feel like everything ends at a single moment.
A New Possibility
There are many ways to honor a life.
One of them is a space memorial.
A small, symbolic portion of cremated remains sent into Earth’s orbit aboard a SpaceX mission.
Why This Felt Right
There are many ways to honor a life.
These families found one that felt right for theirs.
I’ve always wanted to send Richard into space. He was too happy of a person to be shut away in a mausoleum or memorial garden.
Gail
My husband has loved space since he was a kid and has always dreamed of going to space!
LISA
My loving husband, Coy, once again will take flight into the sky as a U.S. Navy Chuting Star. A dream neither of us had ever imagined happening again.
Shirley
The perfect tribute for that space fan in your life.

When You’re Ready
Some families decide immediately.
Others wait years.
There is no timeline.
Many of the people who come to us have been holding onto ashes for a long time.
Not because they forgot.
Not because they stopped caring.
Because they wanted to find something that felt right.
Not ready today?
That’s okay. We’ll be here when you are.
