A private spaceflight company has launched a new service that will allow people to give a cosmic send-off to dead pets by blasting their remains into space.
The company Celestis in Houston fires the remains of humans into the universe but it is now expanding to include animals.
The pets would be cremated and placed in an urn before the journey, 'metro.Co.Uk' reported.
"For years, Celestis has received enquiries from pet owners around the world seeking the opportunity to honour their special animal companions with a final journey among the stars," the company said on its website.
