Burials at Sea - Scattering of Ashes

Dear Patrick, I do hope your rotator cuff has healed and you can go back to playing your guitar. We would have loved to hear you play at sea...how special is that! Thankfully, Sean was able to solve my problem by assuring the play list I had hoped to play connected to your equipment and saved the day. My equipment was left in the ca mistakenly and realized it just as we pulled offshore. Every part of the celebration of life Keith was uniquely special and oh so beautiful. The set up with your roses and our extra flowers was so perfect. The glo of the ashes in the water was dreamlike. Of course it was initially difficult to say good bye but comforting knowing Keith is now part of the ocean. Waves coming to shore now have a new meaning. Thank you so very much Patrick and Sean for creating such a glorious and dignified celebration of life for Keith and Kristi especially. All of us onboard were very much moved we shared on your yacht 'Orion'. Thank you for your professionalism and thoughtfulness ton create an unforgettable afternoon with respect to Keith and Kristi and our friends bound together with mutual love. Sincerely, ~Nancy [More Reviews >>]

Single Scattering of Ashes

It is actually legal in the state of California to mail the ashes directly to me via parcel post if you cannot attend the burial service from the boat or view from shore. In this case, Registered Mail is recommended with you telling the Postmaster of the contents. Please use a ‘return receipt” and label the box CREMATED REMAINS. When I receive the ashes, it is required by state law that I must dispose of the ashes within 60 days. Typically, the ceremony is set to take place within 10 days.

It is unique to The Angel’s ashes that again, we treat the loved one with the same loving respect as we would when family members are present. We contact the family members as to the exact date and time the burial at sea will take place, perform the same ceremony, and accommodate any family member wishing to attend even at the last moment. In all of our ceremonies, the exact latitude and longitude of the burial site and time of entering of the ashes is recorded. A Memorial Certificate with this information is mailed to a designated family member.

Multiple Scattering of Ashes


Unfortunately, and sadly, some die without immediate family. Or family members chose for the Crematorium to dispose of the ashes. To make this the most affordable for the Crematorium, ashes are collected and stored separately by the Crematorium then disposed of by the chosen licensed professional. The Angel’s Ashes will not mix the ashes of two individuals unless asked to do so specifically by a family member. This has happened when a son or daughter has the ashes of both parents for example, and wants them to be entered together.

When we have been given multiple ashes from a Crematorium, we treat the deceased in the same loving manner as with all of our services. We will not scatter the ashes at one burial site. This is a very common practice with most companies. The Angel’s Ashes instead, performs a separate ceremonies at different burial sites chosen for each individual. If a family member can be contacted, we will send them a letter describing the burial at sea ceremony along with a Memorial Certificate. For the Crematoriums, we pick up the ashes for their convenience and will only accept a donation if is less than what they are used to paying their vendor.
