Husband Grant Wife's Last Wish By Blasting Her Into Sky

 

    Her ashes were fed into gold tails, green peonies, crackling dragon eggs and red and blue chrysanthemum bursts          

        A grieving husband turned his dead wife’s ashes into a $400 box of fireworks and blasted her into the sky, Plymouth, England, UK.

                When a 55-year-old Annette Maunder discovered that she has cancer, an unusual idea came to her mind – she wanted to be blasted in the sky after her death. And the woman’s loving husband, Gary, could not help but to carry out Annet’s last wish.

After the woman died and her body was created, her ashes were sent to Heavenly Stars Fireworks company where it was mixed into fireworks. This weekend Annet’s wish came true as Gary launched green peonies, gold tails, crackling dragon eggs and blue chrysanthemum into the sky in a two-minute rocket display.

Gary said: “She would have loved it. It’s a good way to send her off. Our 13 years of marriage was the best 13 years of my life. We won the battle but lost the war. She was a keeper.”
Funeral arranger said: “In many cultures the funeral is an occasion that brings the whole community together in a grand celebration of a person’s life. Gary decided to do just that and, with the help of myself, Annette’s ashes have been interred into a firework. This is a fitting tribute and a great final farewell to Annette.”
