New funeral service scatters ashes by rocket
Online funeral company Comparethecoffin.com (yes, really) has added a new option to its services: launching a loved one's ashes by rocket.
Pitching the service as an appropriate tribute to a Star Trek fan or space enthusiast, the company says it can disperse all or part of the ashes more than a mile above the Earth. It's perfectly legal, says the firm, and rockets can be launched from most parts of the UK.
