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
Space Beyond is an answer to my prayer. My husband‘s dream was to go into space ever since he was a little kid. I searched for years to find a way to do this.
Karin
It brings me joy to know that I can fulfill one of Jeff‘s lifelong dreams, space travel. Our entire family will be able to gaze up at night and see Jeff as he moves among the stars.
Susan
Choosing this company to send my brother’s remains to space has brought me a sense of peace I didn’t expect to find during such a difficult time. He always dreamed big, and this feels like a beautiful way to honor that spirit.

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.
