Firework companies make fireworks using the cremated remains to have the deceased be a part of a spectacular light show in the sky.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trenching<\/strong> \u2013 Trenching is when the bereaved dig a shallow pit in which to deposit and lightly bury the ashes. This way, the ashes aren\u2019t technically buried but they are contained to a specific spot so they can be visited or honored.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plant a Tree<\/strong> \u2013 Tree urns turn cremated remains into fertilizer for new trees, giving your lost loved one new life through loss. You can plant the tree anywhere you want from a backyard to a special park. The tree will always be there as a place you can visit when you miss the deceased or want to reflect on their life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Space Launch<\/strong> \u2013 Whether your loved one always wanted to be an astronaut, loved stars and space, or you just want to give him or her a very special send off, you can launch the ashes into space. There are a few specialized businesses that launch ashes into space for a significant fee. The ashes will orbit the earth for a few months and then vaporize when the re-enter the atmosphere.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water Scattering<\/strong> \u2013 Water has almost always had a connection with spirituality and religion, making it a very popular choice for scattering ashes. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/things-to-know-about-scattering-ashes\/\">Scatter ashes directly into the water<\/a> or release them in a water-safe biodegradable urn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aerial Scattering<\/strong> \u2013 People also scatter ashes into the air by climbing up a mountain or hill, going to the edge of a cliff, or using the wind in an open plain or meadow. You can also hire a specialized plane to scatter the ashes from way up in the air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-276 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Fleming-Island-FL.jpg\" alt=\"cremation service in Fleming Island, FL\" width=\"600\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Fleming-Island-FL.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Fleming-Island-FL-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Fleming-Island-FL-223x146.jpg 223w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Fleming-Island-FL-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cremation-service-in-Fleming-Island-FL-115x75.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Skydiving Scattering<\/strong> \u2013 If the deceased was adventurous or free-spirited what better way to scatter his or her ashes than while skydiving?
