There’s no easy way to say goodbye to someone you love—but how you choose to remember them can become a source of healing, beauty, and peace.
For many families in Burnaby, drone ash scattering offers an unexpected sense of comfort. The sight of ashes being gently carried into the sky, floating over familiar landscapes like Burnaby Mountain or the Fraser River, feels like a final, poetic embrace. It’s not just a farewell—it’s a release.
🌳 A Personal Way to Let Go
One woman told us she couldn’t bear the thought of her father being buried in a plot he never set foot in. He had spent his weekends hiking through Burnaby’s forests, kayaking near the Fraser, and sitting quietly at the edge of Deer Lake with a coffee. When she saw his ashes catch the wind and rise above the trees, she said, “That felt like him. That felt right.”
Stories like hers are why we offer drone cremation services. This is a way to bring closure and peace in a setting that means something to you—and to them.
🚁 What Is a Drone Ash Drop Ceremony?
A drone ash drop is a memorial service where a drone releases cremated remains over a natural setting from the sky. But beyond the technical definition, it’s a chance to let go in the most graceful way imaginable.
We use professional-grade drones—piloted by a specialist from an active army drone program—to ensure a safe, secure, and serene flight. Ashes are kept in a sealed compartment with backup safety mechanisms, and released only once the drone is perfectly positioned above your chosen location.
📍 Burnaby’s Beautiful Backdrops
We’ve helped families scatter ashes above:
- The gentle slopes of Burnaby Mountain, where sun breaks through the trees
- Deer Lake’s quiet shore, with its peaceful walking paths
- The Fraser River, where the water meets the sky in a golden horizon
We also work with families to arrange permissions for municipal parks or private properties, depending on local bylaws.
🎥 Preserve the Moment, or Keep It Private
You can choose to:
- Be present in person, and take in the moment together
- Let us handle it on your behalf, quietly and respectfully
- Watch via livestream, or receive a cinematic video edited with music and care
Our goal is to give you the kind of goodbye that brings you peace—not pressure.
💬 Saying Goodbye with Meaning
We know this service isn’t for everyone. It’s not traditional. It doesn’t involve marble or mausoleums. But for those who want something more personal, less rigid, and deeply tied to nature and memory, it offers something no cemetery ever can: freedom.
