DIY OR HIRE A PRO?
Companies offer aerial ash
dispersal services
Many pilots would like to personally perform this service for a pilot
who has "gone West," but others
may want to hire a professional.
Don't assume that all cremated
remains disposers know what to
do or will treat your loved one's
remains with respect. Certainly,
there are good pilots who make
a business of scattering ashes
from airplanes, are respectful,
and know what they're doing.
But, there have been legal actions
against some cremated remains
disposers who failed to spread
ashes as agreed, or just dumped
them out in a parking lot.
A sampling of aerial ash-scattering services advertising online
charge $500 or more, and often
an extra $100 to film the dispersal. This is for a basic service in
which they'll scatter the ashes on
their schedule and usually scatter
many remains during one flight,
although each is done separately
and over different spots.
Prices can go into the thousands if the pilot has to fly some
distance to a particular place, or
if the scattering is to be "witnessed," meaning that the pilot
will arrange to fly over a spot
where the family can observe the
dispersal from the ground. For
more money, family members can
fly along and release the ashes
themselves.
A professional is often hired
when the deceased requested
his or her ashes be spread over
a special location, such as the
Grand Canyon. If the family cannot travel there, the ashes can
be sent by mail and the dispersal
done by a professional who will
video or photograph the dispersal, and usually provide a certificate of the burial and the GPS
coordinates where the ashes were
released.
