Memorial Space Flights

Eric F Box Funeral Directors Ltd is an authorized distributor of Celestis Inc. Memorial Spaceflights (Houston, TX). Celestis is the only provider of Memorial Spaceflights in the world. This is a truly unique opportunity for your loved one, with a final journey into celestial infinity. A portion of cremated remains is carefully placed inside a permanently sealed flight capsule, which is loaded into a specially designed spacecraft and attached to the launch vehicle.

Memorial Spaceflights place a symbolic portion of cremated remains into Earth orbit, onto the lunar surface, and into deep space. Missions into space that return the cremated remains to Earth are also available. Your loved one's name is inscribed on a plaque inside the spacecraft, along with a short flight message. Family and friends are invited to gather at the launch site to participate in a special memorial service, before sharing the heartwarming experience of their loved one being carried into space.

Each Memorial Spaceflight option includes the service itself, invitation to launch related activities and memorial service for family and friends, a professionally produced DVD of the mission, flight message and name inscription onboard the spacecraft, a biography/photo placed on the Celestis' website, and performance guarantee.

This unique memorial not only allows family and friends to gather for a celebratory event, but also leaves each and every person, whose life the departed individual had touched, with the ability to look up to the sky, anywhere in the world, and know their loved one is still there.
