Burial at sea... It seams the bones would rather be on Earth.
Two companies have sold space on the Lunar Lander for memorial flights.
So let's not go doing that anymore.

The end.
That was sad, major failure before getting anywhere. I tried to Google about other payload build by this company and didn't find much. Was this lander their first ? What's gonna happen to this lunar delivery service now ?
Yes, this was Astrobotic's first mission, contracted by NASA under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contract. They do have a second one coming up in November, with a different and bigger lander called the "Griffin" which is delivery vehicle for NASA's Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) mission.
