Elysium Space is named after the Greek mythology afterlife realm: Elysium, where the righteous and the heroic remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life.
Elysium Space is a privately held corporation founded in 2013. It has its main office in San Francisco, California and representation in Tokyo, Japan.
Thomas Civeit is the founder of Elysium Space. He oversees the design and development of the memorial spaceflights.
The final frontier is an exceptional place to honor and celebrate the life of someone you love. Elysium Space offers awe-inspiring memorial spaceflights to have a symbolic portion of a departed's ashes launched into space.
Specially designed memorial spacecraft respectfully and peacefully orbits the Earth for several months. Family and friends follow this journey through the stars using beautiful mobile app, which shows in real time the spacecraft location and how the world look from this majestic place.
Eventually, in a last poetic moment, the spacecraft harmlessly reenters the Earth's atmosphere, blazing as a shooting star.
Launches take place in the United States at the Cape Canaveral launch facility in Florida. This fantastic and unique event will be webcasted
How it works

ASH CAPSULE
After you place your order, you will receive a kit containing a custom ash capsule to collect a cremated remains sample. The kit includes a mini-scoop to easily transfer a symbolic portion of the remains from a cremation urn to the capsule. Simply ask assistance from a funeral professional if you are uncomfortable doing it yourself. After you ship the capsule back to company, (box and prepaid shipping label are included) company will carefully and respectfully place your capsule in the Elysium spacecraft that will be launched into space. The capsule is made from space-grade aluminum alloy and is individually prepared to have the initials of your choice, up to 3 characters, elegantly engraved on its cap.
REMEMBRANCE MESSAGE
In addition to the capsule, a message of your choice, up to 80 characters, will be engraved in one of the spacecraft metal plates. Your words will be permanently and beautifully displayed on the memorial spacecraft, which will carry your special remembrance message to the stars.
LAUNCH EVENT
The launch will take place at the Cape Canaveral launch facility in Florida. This fantastic and unique event will be webcasted and company will provide a professionally produced video as well. After the Elysium spacecraft is deployed, you will receive a certificate attesting the success of the launch, including the official spacecraft tracking ID assigned by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).
MEMORIAL SPACEFLIGHT SERVICE
How does it work?
You receive a kit containing a custom ash capsule to collect a cremated remains sample. After you ship it back to company , company will place your capsule in the Elysium spacecraft that will be launched into space.
How do you launch ashes into space?
The ashes are carried by a launch vehicle flying to space. Once it reaches its planned orbit, memorial spacecraft is deployed and peacefully orbits the Earth for several months.
How much cremated remains should I provide?
The kit includes a mini-scoop to easily transfer a symbolic portion of the remains to the ash capsule. The capsule contains about a dozen of mini-scoops. The total weight depends on the density of the remains and can theoretically be up to a gram. The capsule dimensions are 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.4 inches.
When is the launch schedule?
next launch is scheduled for summer 2014.
The most recent update regarding the launch date is always available on our website. Because the launch safety rules are strict and necessary, the launch can be delayed for a number of technical reasons, which are outside the control of Elysium Space. In such an event, you will be notified as early as possible.
Can I book a spaceflight now?
Yes, reservations are open. The number of participants is limited by the spacecraft capacity and reservations will be on a first come first serve basis. We therefore strongly advise you to book your spaceflight as early as possible.
Where will the launch viewing event take place?
There are many prime viewing areas around the Canaveral Air Station and Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The complex is surrounded by beautiful beaches and wonderful views, such as the shores of the Indian River, Playalinda Beach, Cocoa Beach, or Jetty Park. The invitation to the launch viewing event will include all details regarding the selected location and the different options for you and your guests. Please note that the travel to the launch, launch lodging, and meals are the responsibility of the attendees.
What if the launch does not succeed?
The memorial spaceflight service includes a service guarantee: in case of failure, we will reschedule your flight to our next launch opportunity at no additional cost.

When I read the post title, I wondered how space journey got cheaper than airline ticket? This is strange but unique concept and I bet they will get good response. Capsule size it too tiny and it holds only 12 or just one gram of ashes? Following through mobile application will be interesting part. This is for super rich people.
sm, Thanks for sharing this information.
@Usha
