He always loved the view from Burnaby Mountain.
You could see it in the way he paused on hikes to look out over the skyline. He didn’t need words—just silence, a breeze, and the horizon. So when it came time to decide how to honour him, it wasn’t a question of burial or urns. It was a question of where to set him free.
For families like his, a drone cremation tribute isn’t just an option—it’s the most natural choice.
🕊️ A Tribute That Matches the Life Lived
A drone ash drop lets your loved one’s remains become part of the world they cherished. Instead of being confined, they return to motion—drifting through the trees, over the water, or into the sunset. This isn’t just a ceremony. It’s a transition. A moment when grief begins to shift into reflection, and then into peace.
🚁 How an Aerial Ash Drop Works
Our drone ceremonies are conducted with high-grade commercial drones, piloted by an operator involved in an active army drone program. Every flight is:
- Planned carefully with attention to airspace laws and safety
- Executed with redundant safety systems in place
- Customized to your preferred location and timing
Whether you choose morning light, golden hour, or a midday memorial, we’ll ensure it unfolds smoothly and respectfully.
📍 Location Guidance
In Burnaby, some of the most requested locations include:
- Burnaby Mountain, with panoramic forest and city views
- Fraser Foreshore, where river and nature meet
- Municipal parks, when permitted through local bylaws
- Crown land and private properties, with appropriate permissions
Our team handles the approvals, coordinates site visits when needed, and confirms all flight logistics—so you don’t have to.
🎥 Add Meaningful Touches
If you wish to document the event, we offer:
- Drone POV video, showing the release from the sky
- Secondary ground camera, capturing the experience from another angle
- Cinematic editing, complete with background music
- Livestreaming, so distant family can take part in real-time
Some families choose to watch it later when they’re ready. Others gather together to view it and remember. There’s no right or wrong way.
💬 Honour the One You Miss—In the Place They Loved
Your goodbye doesn’t have to happen in a chapel.
It can happen in the wind, above the trees, over a river, or in the open air where memories were made. And when it does, it can bring more healing than you ever expected.
