A CHAPEL MEMORIAL SERVICE BEFORE THE BURIAL AT SEA

Reverend (Capt.) Knight is an ordained clergy person who has performed many services of remembrance for religious and non-religious families. Upon request, we will arrange for appropriate leadership in your chosen funeral home or place of worship.

A PERSONAL PRE-PLANNING OPTION

Marine Memorial Services offers you the opportunity to preplan your own service by choosing today, options in regards to the scattering of ashes. We will record and keep on file your detailed wishes and requests for a marine burial. The record will include location, mementos, readings, and music; and any other special desires that you have for your service. A duplicate of this record will be sent to you in a form suitable to include as an attachment to your will. We believe you and your family will find the personal pre-planning option a source of great comfort and peace now and in the coming years.

MEMENTOES AND URNS

The scattering of cremated remains at sea is an ancient tradition - a custom in many cultures for generations. However, many prefer to be placed in an urn for burial. Marine Memorial Services offers a service that sensitivity acknowledges the desire for a burial urn, while protecting the marine environment. Today there are a variety of unique urns that biodegrade as they settle to the ocean floor. Biodegradable urns can be obtained from your local funeral home or from Marine Memorial Services upon request. Flowers, wreaths, and other mementoes of remembrance must be biodegradable - avoid plastics and foams.
