An honorable offshore scattering of your loved one's cremated remains.
Ashes scattering services or burials at sea have been a long time honored display of respect for departed loved ones. In keeping with this tradition, we accommodate all faiths and religions with personalized attention and provide caring and dignified ashes scattering services of your loved ones remains to the sea.
We will travel out past the required nautical mile distance where the memorial ceremony will take place. During an attended memorial service, your loved one’s cremated remains are sprinkled by family and or friends. Each service includes an official ship’s parchment sea burial / ashes scattering certificate marking the offshore coordinates of the decedent’s final resting place. And if requested, an eight bell end of watch blessing ceremony can be performed by Captain Al Manica while at the memorial site.
