There are many creative cremation options available for families and individuals who want to opt out of the traditional burial methods. Fireworks funerals are fun for the whole family! The cremains (cremated remains) are added to special fireworks. Although a relatively unknown practice, it is not new -- in fact, Hunter S. Thompson had his remains blown into the sky. Angel Flight is one of the more popular companies. For the service, friends and family board a giant yacht and watch fireworks (choreographed to appropriate music) shoot off into the sky and scatter down to the water.
The company offers many different types of fireworks, catering options and transportation of the cremains and bereaved.
This is slightly more expensive than the usual scattering, but it's significantly cheaper than a traditional burial. (prices start at about $3000 -- the average funeral in America today is about $10,000)
This is the ultimate way of celebrating one's life. Funerals don't necessarily need to be completely depressing and somber.
