Maybe you’ve thought about scattering. Maybe a keepsake, or jewelry, or something else you couldn’t quite commit to. You care a lot and you want to make the right choice for your loved one.
This might be it.
Ashes to Space is for the explorers. The dreamers. The ones who always looked up. The veterans, the pilots, the engineers, the travelers, the people who never stopped wondering what was out there. And for the ones who simply deserve something bigger than a shelf. Something as limitless as the life they lived.
When it finally feels right, here’s what happens:
A symbolic portion of their cremated remains, about 1 gram, is integrated and sealed inside the Remembrance spacecraft. It launches into sun-synchronous Earth orbit and circles the globe for years. You can track it. Follow it. Know where to look up on a clear night.
The rest of their ashes stay with you, at home, exactly as before. Do what feels right to you.
What families say
My husband’s dream was to go into space ever since he was a little kid. He passed away from cancer in 2017 and before he passed we talked about sending his ashes into space. I have searched for years to find a way to do this. Everything else I had found was super expensive. Thank you Space Beyond for making this all possible, handled with care and in a very professional manner at an affordable price range.— Karin
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. I know my brother would be so happy knowing he’s part of something as vast and awe-inspiring as space.— Alyssa
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

They stay with you. The symbolic portion is about 1 gram. You keep everything else, for whatever feels right.
