About
Also known as the Big Apple, New Amsterdam, Alderman, and the melting pot of the world. It is the premier center of diversity, excitement and intrigue. The sea provides a serene setting for family and friends to say their final goodbyes. Upon request we have an extensive selection of prayers, songs, quotes, music options and more. Every charter is private and can be personalized to you and your loved one’s wishes.
Included in the Accompanied Memorial Service:
- Logistics & Coordination: Guidance for family and friends to the event location. This includes any transportation assistance needed.
- Permits & Approvals: All permits and approvals are covered, making the event streamlined and stress free. This includes filing the required report with the EPA for ash scattering at sea.
