Environmentally friendly balloons?

Hi Lemmy,

I'm organising a funeral, and one of the ideas that has come up is for people to write memories on a balloon and let them go. However, I've also heard that they often end up in trees etc and are terrible for the environment.

Is there such a thing as environmentally safe balloons? Other suggestions are also welcome.

Alternative: plantable wildflower seed cards you can write on and then plant and grow flowers

This is a great suggestion, thank you :)

Make sure they are native seeds for the area you're doing this in!

But also be aware balloons can range for 100's of miles before they come down.
