The other comment touched on balloons so I had some other suggestions based on things that other cultures have done
Sorry for your loss
Lanterns are a pretty significant fire hazard, i'd avoid those too
Good point yes
If you mean the floating lanterns they're usually made with wire and are a hazard to wildlife and domestic animals, as well as creating litter.
They may be made entirely of wood and paper, but as pointed out, fire hazard is still a thing
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.
