Space Burial: A company in the USA called Memorial Space Flights will now launch your loved ones cremated remains in to outer space for a fee. In addition, they will provide you with a memorial service and an excellent spot from which to watch the rocket launch off with the remains. Because of the high price involved in each launch, the company only launches a small portion of the remains – the rest of the ashes are scattered to sea if you wish. Once your loved one is in space, you can go online to view the location of the rocket as it travels in its permanent orbit around the earth. The company offers a variety of different services to suit your budget: brief orbit and return to earth ($695), permanent orbit around earth ($2,495), launch to surface of the moon ($9,995), and launch into deep space ($12,500).

You actually CAN circle the globe in a coffin rocket!
