This is the moment the ashes of a loved one are scattered by drone in a poignant send-off which is becoming increasingly popular.
The bereaved family watched on from the sandy beach below called Sandbanks as the ashes were dispensed from a large black box attached to the four propeller machine above the sea.
The intimate 30-minute ceremony took place at 6.15am when the beach was deserted, with the ashes released over the sea close to Poole, Dorset.
Matt Young, company director of Aerial Ashes, said the family had chosen Sandbanks as it was a 'special place' where their late loved one liked to walk.
He said it is the third such service he has carried out at Sandbanks, which is a popular beauty spot for visitors.
Matt Young, company director of Aerial Ashes, said this was the third service he has carried out at Sandbanks.
His service, which costs £795, gives grieving relatives 'closure' and for religious people creates the impression of 'going up to heaven'.
Other families come to him as they have heard 'horror stories' of people releasing the ashes themselves at sea and being covered in them by a gust of wind.
Matt has scattered ashes at Marsha Beauty spots along the Dorset coast, including at Mudeford, home to Britain's most expensive beach huts at £475,000 each.
He has also carried out ceremonies at Anglesey in Wales and St Andrews, Scotland.
The drone flights at sea are carried out with the permission of the Civil Aviation Authority.
Matt, 42, who has performed 200 drone ceremonies in four years, said the funeral industry is still 'very traditional' but there is a growing demand for his business.

He said: 'The family chose Sandbanks as it was where they used to go and it was a special place that they went for walks and they liked.
'It's one of the nicest places in the country so the pictures came out well.
'It was about 6.15am when we did it so it was early morning when nobody else was around for safety but also to make it an intimate moment.
'The beach is completely empty, we wouldn't risk scattering on somebody or anywhere near anyone's property.
'We have a special technique of releasing the ashes so that they dissipate over a larger area. That was our third ceremony at Sandbanks.
'I'm really proud of my business. I love the closure it gives people and a lot of them really appreciate it. For religious people, it looks like they are going up to heaven.
Sandbanks is a popular tourist destination on an exclusive peninsula in Poole, Dorset
'Over land we have to get permission but the sea is ok as we've got permission from the Environment Agency who said it is ok to scatter over the sea.
'The funeral industry is very traditional but its future is in the celebration of life so I feel it's very fitting. We can make it really special and personal.'
He added: 'It definitely feels as if our business is accelerating, with cemeteries recommending us.
'We have families coming to us who have tried scattering the ashes themselves at sea and there are horror stories of people getting caught out by the wind and covered in the ashes, which is very distressing.
'We can take that anxiety away from them.'
Aerial Ashes was founded by retired RAF helicopter pilot Christopher Mace, who got the idea after scattering the ashes of comrades at sea.
Sandbanks is home to famous residents including ex-football managers Harry Redknapp and Graeme Souness.
