Hark & Herald Message Balloons were inspired by the children's book Heavenly Balloons. Release a balloon in memory of a loved-one or loved-pet and enjoy the peace and contentment it may bring. Our unique tracking feature provides a way to connect the ones who release a balloon with the ones who find them. We believe these connections are deliberately arranged by God and carry significant spiritual purpose.
Releasing our balloons can be a very rewarding emotional experience and provide A Simple Way To Stay Connected For Eternity.
How It Works
Make a pledge or buy a balloon packet. Balloons are shipped in individual packets containing 1 12" latex balloon, 48" of ribbon, our signature sticker containing a pre-assigned tracking number, a keepsake card, and easy to follow step by step instructions. Helium can be purchased at any location selling balloons for a minimal fee. The tracking number will be used to share your story with the world and connect with others, including those who may find your balloon. Heaven only knows what you may have in common!
Go to Balloon Tracking and discover how inspirational it is to connect with others.

Balloon Facts
The balloon industry operates with an eye on the environment. Important facts you should know about latex balloon releases:
- Only latex balloons are used by professionals in mass releases. Industry guidelines require these balloons to be self-tied and have no attached strings or ribbons when released - each balloon is 100% biodegradable.
- Rarely do released balloons return to the earth's surface intact. Studies show these balloons usually rise to an altitude of about five miles. At that point, freezing and air pressure causes "brittle fracture" creating spaghetti-like pieces that scatter to the four winds.
- While some balloons don't reach this altitude, research indicates that in an average 500-balloon release, the unexploded balloon return density is no greater than one per 15 square miles.
- Regardless of the latex balloon's ultimate form when it lands, it will decompose, forming a natural soil nutrient at the same rate as that of an oak leaf.
