Global Gypsies offers unique final resting place
People who love the outback and the desert can now choose a beautiful and peaceful remote area as their final resting place thanks to a sensitive new service offered by award-winning tour company Global Gypsies.
“Dust to Dust” enables nature-lovers to have their ashes scattered in the Australian outback or in a remote desert area at a special private, personalised ceremony. One of Australia’s most respected outback tour guides, Global Gypsies’ Director and former Tour Guide of the Year, Jeremy Perks, will conduct the ceremony.
He will ensure it is undertaken with dignity, respect and sensitivity and with regard for specific individual requests. The ceremony can be extremely simple, or can include special music or wording and be recorded for relatives.
Perth-based Global Gypsies has been running tours into the Australian outback for over a decade. During that time, they have performed several ash-scattering services in tranquil and picturesque locations for friends and clients and believe there will be even more requests for this unusual service in the future.
The company says that “Dust to Dust” is a dignified, caring way to provide peace of mind to people who genuinely love nature and the Australian bush. They believe the service will have particular appeal to people who have fond memories of time spent in the desert, or armchair travelers who always wanted to explore the outback but never had the opportunity to do so.
The service can be requested in a will or arranged by executors or surviving relatives; there is also the option of relatives arranging a private safari so they can participate in the ceremony.
Global Gypsies can arrange for any necessary permits and assist with writing the service if desired. Prices start at $500.
Says Jeremy, “So many people have an affinity and a deep connection with the desert and the outback and would like to make it their final resting place. However, until now it has been extremely difficult, particularly for people who live in the city, to arrange for someone to scatter their ashes and provide a fitting farewell. I visit some of the most beautiful and remote places in Australia several times a year and would feel privileged to fulfill this last wish for people who love the bush as much as I do.”
