Recent years have seen an increase in space burials in New Zealand, the UK and the United States.
Companies like Beyond Burial, Aura Flights, and Celestis have been flying the ashes of family loved ones into space for years, and surprisingly, it’s not as expensive as you might think.
The company, Celestis, is based in Houston, Texas and has a space burial package that sends someone’s ashes into space and returns them for $2995.
In Celestis’ Earth Orbit package, they attach a loved one’s ashes to a satellite, which then orbits Earth for a few years.
The Luna Company provides a package that will bring ashes to the surface of the Moon.

Considering the national average for a typical burial is about $7,800, sending your ashes into space isn’t as expensive as you might think.
So far Celestis has sent 1,700 ashes into space.
Not only do wealthy elites send their ashes into space.

As more cemetery grounds are completed and land owners in local cities are unable to obtain the necessary permits to operate cemeteries, space burials and cremations may be the dominant burial option going forward.
