Unattended Ash Scattering
Very often families are not able to attend a sea scattering committal ceremony. Capt. Jeff will bring the cremated remains to the Gulf of Mexico off of the coast of the Clearwater, FL area or the Florida Keys for you. In a reverent and dignified manner, the scattering and committal ceremony is performed, and a certificate of scattering will be provided. The certificate documents the location, date, and time of the ceremony for your family.
Professional video documentation is available, but not included.

An unattended scattering costs $150.00 and includes a Committal Service, and a Certificate of Scattering which documents the date, time, and location of the ceremony.

Alone I will not be
My comfort will come from the sea
The stillness of calm waves will gently drift by
I will be as one with the sea.
When the sun sets on the ocean blue,
Remember me as I will always remember you.
As the sun rises…go live life as full as can be
Apart…you and me… but at peace for I am free
