Rememberance at Sea
About
For those wishing to have their ashes scattered at sea, we believe there is no better place than the clear calm waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. We offer unattended sea services for the burial of cremains at sea. On board our vessel, your loved one's remains are handled with dignity and respect. We travel to our final dispersal site where we scatter the ashes into the sea and perform a sea service ceremony in memory and recognition of your dearly-departed. The location, date, time, and sea conditions are logged next to the name of the departed and the latitude and longitude are transferred to a beautiful certificate signed by the Captain.
Please Call to Book.
