Hi, Sorry to bother you, but I had a quick question that you may be ableto help out with. I work for an independent television production company called Minnow Films,and we are currently making a documentary for Channel 4 that will exploresome of the less traditional things people can do with their loved onesashes. We¹re hoping to make a heartfelt yet uplifting film that will reflectthe growing trend of many families wanting to do something other than simplykeeping their loved one¹s ashes in an urn. I'm aware that it is possible to scatter ashes from a plane /Skydiving/ gliding...etc and I wondered if you might be aware of any suchevents being planned over the coming months? I'd also be interested to hear from anyone who may have already scatteredashes from their plane and who had the event filmed in some way. If you feel you might be able to help with my research, please do get intouch. You can reach me on 0203 051 5352 or by email atcarla@minnowfilms.co.uk Thanks for your time Carla Carla BerzonMinnow Films T: 0203 051 5352e: carla@minnowfilms.co.uk

Anyone want to volunteer to be cremated?

It would be great publicity for the club.

Come on, do it for your fellow club members!

Odd request

For anyone thinking of taking up their offer :shock:

Make sure they give you in writing a synopsis and a programme title along with some written description of how your appearance will be portrayed.

I 'm suprised that they can imagine how we would dispose of our loved ones ashes will under a large round canopy while being dragged at 25knots behind a boat. That's what I imagine little Carla, Tiffany or Nathanial thinks PG is........ :roll:

Oh so cynical....me? :roll:
You are only as good as your last flight........
