In the forty years I’ve spent working alongside bereaved families, I’ve seen their expectations evolve profoundly. Today, more than half of all French people choose cremation, and want a personalized farewell that’s both meaningful and emotional.
With Mickaël, a professional drone pilot, we crossed our experiences and shared the same observation. On the one hand, the funeral world is changing, and on the other, the drone is opening up new fields of application. This meeting of societal evolution and technological innovation gave rise to the idea of offering aerial scattering of funeral ashes by drone. The acquisition of a complete system from Envol Funér’Air was an obvious choice.
Right from the demonstration flight, we realized that not only was the equipment powerful, but it also offered a true ceremonial experience. The drone remains visible, we hear it, it’s a moment of life, not an impersonal video, a suspended moment of shared contemplation.
Envol Funér’Air’s support was crucial to the success of this project. The communication materials, the clear, structured instruction guide and the overall approach to the service saved us precious time. Everything is designed to ensure a professional, secure implementation that complies with the regulatory framework. Each ceremony becomes unique, in the image of the person honored.
