"Renton Woman Sends Late Husband's Ashes into Deep Space"

Uli Corner from Renton, Washington, honored her late husband Jeremiah's lifelong passion for space by sending his cremated remains into deep space through Celestis, a company that offers memorial spaceflights. Jeremiah's ashes were launched on January 8, 2024, alongside the remains and DNA of notable figures including Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and several NASA astronauts. Despite some controversy over space burials, Corner found the experience deeply spiritual and fulfilling.
