Burial at Sea
6 hours $3600
Memorials at sea were once a maritime tradition limited to merchant mariners or Navy personnel. This has become a unique and memorable way to honor your loved one as you say goodbye.
​
While the earth consists of about 30% land, the remaining area is 70% water. It seems natural to us to scatter ashes and allow our remains to drift back into the ebb and flow of the sea, completing the circle of life. One's life begins surrounded by water and can now depart in the same way.
All services are performed legally (3 miles offshore) in the Gulf of Mexico, as required by the (EPA) Environmental Protections Agency, adhering to all Federal, State and Local rules and regulations. We submit permit documentation to the EPA within 24 hours.

Anna is an ordained minister since July 24, 2021. Soon after your ceremony you will receive a Certificate of Burial, a photo, and a token gift with the location where we spread the ashes.
Spreading Ashes
Saying goodbye to your loved one at sea is a peaceful experience that completes the circle of life. The ebb and flow of the sea creates a lull of serenity as you send your loved one's ashes to their final resting place. This time-honored ceremony provides peace and comfort during your mourning. We create a full circle around the location where we can spread flower petals, noting the latitude and longitude, as you remember their lives and release their spirit. This memory has been found to enhance the peace one feels, when they connect to the sea or sand on a beach, knowing that their loved one has become a part of this for all eternity.

Do that which is right. Each individual has the privilege and responsibility to determine what is right for them, as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. Be competent, be proficient, be cooperative, love your fellow man. I profess to be humble, to be honest, to be moral, to live positively, to be what I profess. We are advocates of the good life. Be at peace with God, whatever you conceive God to be.
We work in partnership with a Shaman to honor and create your sacred and meaningful end of life ceremony. We incorporate your preferred rite of passage rituals that have been practiced across time and cultures to align with your beliefs and customs.
We believe that grief is simply love without a home. Grief is unavoidable but is honored by action and balanced by joy. Let us create this ceremony with you to help you grieve and remember the joy of your loved one's life.
