“ “My brother had his 60th birthday party on Saturday night at the same time we let off the fireworks containing my mum’s ashes. I must say what a fantastic set of fireworks they were, at the party was the five children plus grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. My mum’s brother and wife were there plus all my brother’s guests at his house and everyone was gobsmacked with the display. Thank you once again” “
- Rob Davis -“ “Good morning Charlotte. We had the wake for my mum on Saturday and released the fireworks. They were amazing, beyond what I and everyone expected. They turned a potentially sad occasion into a happy one, a true celebration of my mum’s life. I just wanted to thank you and the company for your help and for giving my mum the send off she wanted.” “
- Sarah Burden -“ “Thank you once again for your assistance and empathic approach in helping me in this matter. Fulfilling this element of my wife’s wishes was causing me much concern, but your help has simplified matters tremendously.” “
- David Ware -“ “Just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything. It would have been Kirsty’s birthday yesterday and we had friends and family round to celebrate. Everyone was amazed at what a fantastic display it was, so much more than we could have hoped for. You were super efficient and made the whole process very smooth. Would highly recommend!” “

“Hi Denise, I’ve been meaning to email you to say thank you so much for the fireworks you did for us with Caz’s ashes in. They were fantastic and the highlight of our celebration of Caz’s life that we had on November 5th, which would’ve been her 49th birthday. We had all her friends and family there and with some champagne and a few cocktails we sent her off in style. Everyone was so impressed with the rockets and letters, in fact several people thought it was a fantastic idea for themselves when the time comes…
Once again our heartfelt thanks for allowing us the chance to honour Caz’s wishes in such style.” “
“ “I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Heavenly Stars Fireworks we said goodbye to Mike my partner in true style, his children Chloe and Issy thought it was the best send off. Something we will always remember for the rest of our lives. All Mikes friends and family can not thank you enough. What an amazing idea and excellent five-star service. Thank you so much.” “
- Rachael Harding -“ I would like to give you 5 stars. We purchased the Spirit in the Sky barrage fireworks and with our extended family, tonight we had a celebration of our brother/dad/grandad’s (Bill’s) life. His favourite song happened to be “Spirit in the sky”, so with that playing in the background, we set the fireworks off and off into the sky did Bill go. What a fitting celebration for him, he would have LOVED it. So, thanks for your help, advice and fireworks. You have enabled us to have a fitting celebration for him. “
- Claire Heslop -“ I would like to say a big big thank you to both you and your team for giving my beautiful wife Lynn, the most spectacular send off, it was perfect and very befitting, you have done her wish proud and that goes for me, my family and friends, they were all amazed how professional the display was and not what they expected, it far exceeded there were expectations and I believe it’s won a lot of them over in the future plans on how they would like their final journey. “
- Paul Mizen -“ I have been meaning to contact you to say a heartfelt thank you for the tribute fireworks provided. We travelled to Morecambe so that my dad’s 92 year old brother could join in as he hadn’t been able to travel to the funeral. (He did think it was a marvellous plan). We hired a coach to take 11 of us on 4 November on what have been dads 87th birthday. Even the coach driver said what a wonderful tribute it was. My son took over the job of setting them off and found it easy to follow. The whole display was quite simply breath-taking. So we thank you sincerely for the service provided. On behalf of the Robert Vernon Rotheram family and friends “
- Judith Entwistle -“ Having used Heavenly Stars in the past for our clients, I had no hesitation in contacting them to assist with providing a firework tribute for a member of my own family. Denise and the team pulled out an amazing service by providing a same day creation. Travelling from Somerset, this service was invaluable to us. Dealing with professionals who really understand and put their customers first is exactly how we run our own business, so to work alongside Heavenly Stars was a dream. The packages on offer are clear and wonderfully priced for the service and presentation of the fireworks. Would highly recommend this service to other Funeral Directors looking for a company to provide firework tributes, but on a personal note as a bereaved family, we couldn’t be happier with the terrific services provided, thank you so very much! “
- Simon Helliar-Moore -“ I wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful Heavenly Stars firework display. My husband had asked that his ashes be put in a firework so his friends and family could come together and enjoy the display. We certainly did!! It was a wonderful, colourful display that enthralled us for three breathtaking minutes. He would have loved the display, and it was a fitting way to say goodbye to the light of my life. Thank you for making my dear husband’s wish come true in the most wonderful way. “
- Anonymous -“ I would like to thank you for the 4 Rockets you made for my Husband’s late Mum. We were very impressed and as her wishes were she “went out with a bang” it was very emotional but also a happy celebration as it would have been her 70th Birthday. I can so recommend you for your professional services and once again would like to thank your team for making a wish come true. “

I just wanted to say how absolutely amazing I think your company is. My family have been blown away by the sheer professionalism from you all. We arrived at the shop with my dad’s ashes and the gentlemen there was so kind and respectful and really put my mum at ease who was naturally upset. We collected the fireworks a few hours later and couldn’t believe the size of them! They were fantastic and exactly how my dad would have wanted them. We had a big gathering on the 7th October and the fireworks were nothing short of spectacular. We were thrilled that we came to you. You guided us every step of the way and made us feel comfortable and confident with what we were doing with dads ashes. Again we can’t thank you enough for being so kind and providing such a great product at such a good price. We thoroughly recommend you.
This is a first for us… and we think it’s awesome! #ashesintofireworks #bespokefunerals “
“ Thank you to Heavenly Stars Fireworks for making the whole process as easy as possible, from phone calls and emails to dealing with our venue. Thank you to the guys who came and fired the display. They were unobtrusive, and must have been freezing cold in sub-zero temperatures. Best of all were the fireworks. Truly, amazing, brilliant and everything our daughter hoped it would be. There are too many superlatives to describe the Tribute Display! We all lost it when the sparkling stars exploded, so many happy tears from the 200 adults and children watching. Everyone said it was the best private firework display they had ever seen. “
- Anonymous -“ I can’t recommend Heavenly Stars and Dynamic Fireworks enough! The team are polite, kind, helpful, thoughtful and thorough on every level. On Sunday we had a huge memorial display for Ruby Venezuela who’s last wish was to have her ashes fired into the sky in a rocket above Soho. This was choreographed to music and held in St Anne’s Soho, Central London) it was not only spectacular and beautiful, it made many people very happy! And it ran so smoothly, not a fault. Thank you all “
- Amelia Pearson -“ Thank you so much for the beautiful fireworks for my husband. As this was his wish thank you and the team for making this such an easy process. From calling you to bringing my husband’s ashes to you and the team making them in a 2 hour turnaround. A very compassionate, caring, understanding team that you are. The fireworks were set off on 6th November and were watched by friends and family. I cannot thank you and the team enough. I will always recommend you and so will my funeral director. “
- Maria Godden -“ My wife always said that when her time came she wanted to go off in a rocket. Thanks to Heavenly Stars Fireworks she got her wish. She went off in Four Rockets and a display box. They were brilliant. On Friday the 22nd of April we sent her off into the night sky. Beautiful surroundings, beautiful weather and a beautiful sunset. There was quite an audience present and each and everyone of them said what a great display it was. Thanks to all the staff at Heavenly Stars, especially Sophie who I had all the correspondence with. She answered every question I asked and kept me up to date with everything that was going on. Excellent service all round. Ronnie, my wife would have loved it. “
- Colin Guy -“ My husband Phill died in February. All through his life he loved fireworks and I think his dream job would have been to be a pyro technician. Bonfire night was a special time for him especially as it was so close to his birthday. Often over the years he would say that he would like his ashes to go up in a rocket so this November we made his wish come true. Can’t thank Heavenly Stars enough. They were very professional and the rockets were delivered very quickly. We had a winter BBQ and invited lots of friends and family to celebrate my husband’s life. He would have really loved to have seen it and I know he would have approved of how we celebrated. Thank you again “
- Karen Webster -“ Thank you for the wonderful service. You provided 7 rockets containing some of my husband’s ashes which we lit on what would have been his Birthday. They were so beautiful and a truly fitting way to send him off as he requested. The service you provided was professional, personal and efficient so thank you to everyone who helped to make my husband’s final wishes come true. “
