She loved the way the sun shimmered off the Fraser River. You’d find her there at sunset, just watching the sky change. When the time came to say goodbye, her family didn’t want cold marble or crowded cemeteries—they wanted her spirit to move, to float above the water she loved. That’s when they discovered drone ash scattering.
In Richmond, BC, this kind of farewell is more than possible—it’s beautiful.
🕊️ A Soaring Tribute Above Land and Water
Drone cremation ceremonies allow your loved one’s ashes to be gently released into the sky over a meaningful location—whether that’s the riverbanks near Steveston, a quiet stretch of crown land, or an open patch of sky above the wetlands.
There’s no formal seating. No rigid rituals. Just space, air, and time to reflect.
🚁 How It Works: A Modern Memorial
Every flight is carefully planned and professionally piloted using commercial-grade drones with built-in safety features and redundant drop systems. Ashes are transported securely and released only once the drone reaches its approved flight path and elevation.
Our drone operator brings years of experience, including involvement in a military drone program. (This service is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Canadian Armed Forces.)
Your loved one’s final journey is conducted with care, precision, and above all—respect.
