Aerial Ash Scattering as a Green Funeral Option

Written by Edgar Ball

🌍 Say Goodbye Without Leaving a Footprint

More people are choosing to live in a way that respects the Earth—and they want to say goodbye the same way. At General Drone Memorials, we offer aerial ash scattering that aligns with green funeral values: no burial plots, no chemicals, no emissions-heavy process. Just a natural return to nature from above.

Our drone ash drops across the Sunshine Coast allow cremated remains to drift peacefully into the air, returning to ocean, forest, or sky—without harming the environment, and without disrupting the land below.


🍃 Why Families Choose Green Memorials

Traditional funerals can leave a heavy environmental mark—coffins, embalming fluids, granite headstones, manicured lawns, and maintenance all take their toll. Even some scattering ceremonies on land require travel, large groups, and plastic urns.

Our service offers:

  • Zero ground disturbance
  • No need for structures, markers, or maintenance
  • No crowd impact—quiet, minimal ceremony
  • Optional livestream or video to reduce travel emissions

This is a meaningful farewell that reflects your loved one’s values, and leaves the world a little lighter.


🌬️ Clean, Gentle, Hassle-Free

Scattering ashes on your own may sound simple, but many families find it surprisingly difficult. The ashes are ultra-fine, and even a slight breeze can send them back onto your hands, clothing, or face.

With General Drone Memorials, you don’t have to worry about that.

  • We handle everything from lift-off to landing
  • You’ll never need to touch or manage the ashes
  • The release is timed and smooth—no mess, no mistakes

📍 Eco-Friendly Locations Across the Coast

We carefully select natural, legal locations that offer both beauty and environmental integrity, including:

  • Remote bluff edges along crown land
  • Open waters near Gibsons, Desolation Sound, and Pender Harbour
  • Quiet, forested spots where nature is untouched

All sites are chosen to respect local laws, and we handle all the planning to ensure every flight is compliant.

✅ Licensed pilots only
✅ Fully insured flights
✅ No parkland or restricted zones


🎥 Memorials You Can Keep Without Waste

We offer livestreams and custom video tributes for those who want to remember without traveling or printing materials. No booklets, no headstones—just a beautifully edited video that lives forever in the cloud.


📬 A Natural Way to Let Go

If your loved one cared about nature, this is the final gesture that reflects their life. Visit our services page or contact us to plan an eco-friendly farewell with General Drone Memorials.
