A Memorial for Those Who Looked Beyond the Horizon

Some lives don’t fit neatly into traditions.
Some stories deserve more than a marker or an urn on a shelf.

Whether they were explorers, dreamers, veterans, aviators, or simply someone who loved the night sky, Ashes to Space exists for those who want a tribute that reflects a life lived with curiosity and wonder.

Why This Felt Right

There are many ways to remember someone.
This is theirs.

Cindy was seeking things to do with ashes. Before hearing about Ashes to Space, she had never thought about ashes going to outer space.

Ed, although you are no longer with me, when I look at the stars in the sky I still feel your love.

Lisa and her husband, chose to send ashes to space to fulfill a lifelong dream of going to space.

My husband has loved space since he was a kid and has always dreamed of going to space!

LISA
Shirley loved her husband Coy and is excited to find this unique memorial idea and see him Rest Among The Stars.

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
Robert was seeking pet ashes memorial ideas when he learned that we also take animal ashes. He thought about pet ashes jewelry, but our memorial release ideas, sending ashes to space, was a better fit.

Farewell to our sparkling eyed Abby. May she light up the heavens forever.

Robert
