The first space burial Earthview 01: The Founders Flight was launched on April 21, 1997. An aircraft carried a modified Pegasus rocket containing samples of the remains of 24 people to an altitude of 11 km (38,000 ft) above the Canary Islands. The rocket then carried the remains on an elliptical orbit with an apogee of 578 km (361 miles) and a perigee of 551 km (344 miles), rotating around earth once every 96 minutes until reentry on May 20, 2002, northeast of Australia

Well, technically, we wouldn’t find them in totality, but we’d definitely find some parts of their cremated bodies, in the form of ash, orbiting our earth.

Again, we need not necessarily find them ‘together’, as stated. They may well be placed in different orbits :|

Timothy Leary, Gene Roddenberry and uh… James Doohan? (Scotty).. had their ashes strewn in space by a mission aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1991
