Ash scatterings and Burials at Sea have been practiced throughout history by many civilizations. Scatterings are a timeless ritual that provides a dignified, simple service in a beautiful and unforgettable setting. Today the dissemination of the remains at sea is a modern continuation of this timeless tradition as is endorsed by the State and Federal governments as well as Environmentalists.

The Miss Daisy II heads for the Gulf of Mexico...

Family and friends gather on the vessel to honor their loved one and reminisce about the departed. The Captain rings the Brass Bell, signaling the final destination. The Captain then recites the "Nautical Commitment to the Deep", the scattering commences. The mourners scatter flowers over the surface of the sea at this time, the vessel circles the flowers as they say their final farewell.

Ash scattering at sea helps bring closure and a sense of new beginning for friends and family experiencing the loss of a loved one. This act returns us to nature and the origin of our being.
