The Extra-Terrestrial Funeral Service

An exciting and ambitious company of near space explorers who have turned their hand to providing a special and out of this world way to say goodbye to a loved one.

The very first of its kind in the UK, this uniquely scientific and emotional process of scattering ashes is giving families a new way to say goodbye to their loved ones. We look at how this small team manages such large expectations; the process from space engineer to handling human remains and ultimately the pressure and pride in being part of such a personal moment for so many; including one woman who talks about why she chose to say goodbye to her father in the way he had always wanted – being amongst the stars.
