Did your deceased love or take part in any of these outdoor activities? Did he or she come watch the International Balloon Fiesta or go to the State Fair? Did the deceased like to visit the old Ghost Towns or take off to the mountains?
Many of these activities have two things in common. They all occur outdoors. Most of them take place somewhere up high. Perhaps, you should consider scattering the ashes accordingly.

  • By Airplane - Now a global practice, you can arrange for a flight above the mountains or over a lake. From this vantage point you, or a professional, can scatter the ashes onto a favorite spot. While it may be sought after for the cremains of aviators or flight enthusiasts, it is also suitable for anyone who loved the land, the mountains. This way, you can reach the peak or cover a wide stretch of favourite land without undue duress. The only thing that might be stressed is your pocketbook. Airplane scattering will range in price, but it will add to the overall Santa Fe, NM cremation costs.
  • It's Stratospheric - Take an environmentally friendly balloon. Place the ashes inside or attach them to it. Send it up to around 100,000 ft above the ground. The ashes will remain in space circulating around the globe. This is an option for those who love Santa Fe, NM but want to travel.
  • Hot Air Balloon - Take a ride in a hot air balloon. Once you are floating above the right spot, release the ashes.
  • Skydiving - Less common than many methods, this method does offer potential. You can go it alone or as a member of a family. Jump with friends from thousands of feet and drop the ashes along the way. If your deceased was a member of a skydiving club or this was on his or her bucket list, go for it.
  • Fireworks - A simple fireworks display can contain the ashes of the deceased. Blast them out in celebration on the Glorious Fourth or New Year's Eve. This, barring the expenditure for a few fireworks, can prove to be one of the least expensive options for this type of Santa Fe, NM cremation costs
  • Space Trip -It is now possible to launch your remains into space. The term for this is space burial. It is the most expensive option. It undoubtedly immensely inflates cremation costs in Santa Fe, NM and around the world.
