Environmentally friendly balloons? (self.asklemmy)

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.

Lanterns are a plague on farmers unfortunately. We've picked out quite a few from hedges over the years, it's just littering with extra steps.
