Saying goodbye is rarely straightforward. But for some families, a drone ash scattering ceremony offers a sense of clarity—a gentle transition between grief and gratitude.
In New Westminster, where the Fraser River winds past forests and bridges, drone-based ash drops provide a symbolic and serene alternative to traditional memorials. It’s not about spectacle. It’s about simplicity, movement, and letting go.
🕊️ A Farewell That Moves
Unlike ground-based ceremonies, a drone ash drop releases your loved one’s remains into the sky, allowing them to drift over meaningful landscapes. It could be a final journey above the river they once walked beside, or the quiet forest edge near the city’s border.
The moment the ashes are released is silent, weightless, and filled with emotion. For many, that gentle dispersal becomes a powerful way to mark the transition from presence to memory.
🚁 The Process—Step by Step
We work closely with you to ensure the experience is peaceful and seamless:
- Planning & Location Selection
Together, we choose a legal and meaningful location—such as crown land, municipal parks (when permitted), riverbanks, or private property with consent. - Ceremony Setup
On the day of the drop, we arrive at the site with all equipment prepared. You can attend in person, join via livestream, or choose a private ceremony without guests. - The Release
At the scheduled time, the drone rises into the sky and gently releases the ashes. The motion is smooth, and the experience is quiet—designed to support reflection, not formality. - Optional Recording
We offer memorial video options, or no recording at all, based on your preference.
📍 New Westminster Ash Drop Locations
Some of the most requested and permitted areas include:

We handle the coordination, so you don’t have to worry about flight zones or approvals.
🎥 Preserve the Memory, If You Choose

We offer:
- 📡 Livestreams
