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.

I thought maybe they would put tiny pieces of person into a firework and blow it up in the sky.
amazing. Plus, I love reading about cremation options. Like in the book STIFF, I told my (now ex) that I wanted to be buried in a biodegradable box so I could become one with the earth. They promptly told me I was insane.
In India, the dead body is burnt to ashes by using woods or electric-furnace. The remains, i.e. some small pieces of bones and small amount of ashes, are then thrown in to some river. This system do not require large scale land for bury the dead bodies. Your can start this system. This is quite hygienic.
Hi! I am also a mortuary science student. If you would like another blogger to help with this project let me know. I live in Seattle and am in school full time. I noticed your last post was almost a month ago. I have ideas and trends that I can update on regularly if you're interested.
