Mesoloft is a new service for the cremation industry. What Mesoloft provides is a unique ash scattering service that uses high-altitude balloons to take the cremated remains to the edge of the atmosphere and space. Once the balloon reaches its peak altitude (~20 miles above the earth) it will release the ashes to be scattered by the earth's winds. The whole flight is recorded in HD for the customer to be provided after the flight. The truly unique aspect of a Mesoloft scattering is that with the earth's winds your loved one's ashes will be scattered over the whole earth; as they slowly drift back over weeks and months the whole time being carried by the winds. Where ever you go from now on your loved one will be there with you. Let your last journey be your greatest.
