Yeah… balloons end up in the sea and frequently turtles eat them thinking that their jellyfish. Dead sea turtles have been found stuffed full of plastic bags and balloons.
Paper lanterns end up setting things on fire far away.
Could you perhaps stop the magical disposable up-in-air thinking and do something else? Like write wishes on pieces of bark and hide them in a forest to break down harmlessly?
It's not magical thinking at all, ceremonies like that provide genuine feelings of relief and catharsis for participants.
Sorry I missed the funeral part earlier.
I still don’t think balloons or fire lanterns are in any way responsible.
Paper boats are generally ok as they breakdown pretty quickly.
