6 BE A FIREWORK:

It's not quite as futuristic as a space mission, but it's a lot more fun. Tribute fireworks require around 200-400g of ashes that can be added into rockets and other whizz bangs and launched hundreds of feet into the sky before you explode in a cascade of colour. Prices start at £1,200 for a full display. See more, including rules about where displays can be held, at scattering-ashes. co.uk/sky/fireworkdisplay
