A Spectacular and Personal Celebration of Life With a Memorable Firework Display

A Spectacular and Personal Celebration of Life

At A.B. Walker, we understand that every life is unique, and every farewell should reflect the individual being remembered.

We are proud to work with Heavenly Stars Fireworks, one of the UK’s leading specialists in memorial firework displays, to offer families a truly unique way to celebrate the life of a loved one.

Whether you are planning a quiet family gathering or a larger celebration of life, these professionally created tribute fireworks respectfully incorporate cremated ashes into specially designed fireworks, creating a beautiful and unforgettable farewell beneath the night sky.

We can organise self-fire tribute fireworks sent directly to you or help you plan a memorable, professional display.

The Environment

As another independent family-run business, our partner is committed to reducing the environmental impact of memorial displays wherever possible.

Their approach includes:

• Using fireworks with minimal or no plastic components
• Recycling cardboard packaging wherever possible
• Continuously seeking more sustainable manufacturing methods

To further support this commitment, Heavenly Stars Fireworks partners with Make It Wild, a family-owned organisation dedicated to creating and protecting natural habitats including meadows, ponds and woodlands.

Their work helps support carbon mitigation through tree planting and habitat regeneration, creating a lasting legacy for future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can a memorial firework display take place?

Displays can be held at many private venues, farms, country estates and suitable outdoor locations. Permission from the landowner is required, and the site must provide sufficient space to allow the display to be carried out safely.

How much of the ashes are used?

The amount depends on the package you choose. Some displays incorporate up to 200 grams of ashes, while larger packages can respectfully incorporate all of your loved one’s ashes.

Are the firework displays safe?

Yes. Heavenly Stars Fireworks uses CE-certified fireworks and provides comprehensive safety guidance with every order. A minimum spectator distance of 25 metres is recommended for Category 3 fireworks, and all instructions should be followed carefully.

What happens if it rains?

The displays can generally still go ahead in wet weather. Fireworks are designed to perform in the rain when prepared correctly, although severe weather or high winds may require the display to be postponed for safety.

What happens to the ashes?

The ashes are carefully and respectfully incorporated throughout the firework during manufacture and are released into the air as each effect bursts, creating a beautiful memorial tribute.

Can family members set off the fireworks?

Yes. Many of the tribute fireworks are designed as self-fire displays for private family use and are supplied with full safety instructions. Alternatively, families may choose to arrange a professionally fired display.

Can the display be personalised?

Many families choose to play a favourite piece of music, share memories or readings before the display, or hold the fireworks on a meaningful date such as a birthday, anniversary or celebration of life gathering.

How are the ashes identified?

Every order is given a unique tracking reference throughout the manufacturing process. Heavenly Stars Fireworks also provides a Certificate of Authenticity, giving families confidence that the correct ashes have been respectfully incorporated into the display.

“Often over the years, my husband Phil would say that he would like his ashes to go up in a rocket, so it made his wish come true. I can’t thank you enough.”
