About This Adventure
About
Beth Ann Charters is humbled to offer families and friends dignified and highly personal ash scattering off the coast of Cape Cod. Our aim is to provide peace of mind to families and friends that their loved ones are laid to rest as they desired, in the eternal tranquility of the sea.
The ceremony can be completely customized to yours or loved ones wishes, and we welcome all religions and denominations. We recommend bringing flowers, music which was special to the deceased, and readings or poems which the family may read, or if desired the Captain will read.
Per regulations, we will travel a minimum three miles offshore, either in Cape Cod Bay or the Atlantic Ocean, and to locations with special meaning for the deceased and family. There, we will quiet the engine and Beth Ann will gently float on the waves as your loved one is laid to perpetual rest, surrounded by your flowers and love. The exact geographical location will be noted and included on a certificate commemorating the ceremony.
