The popularity of ash scattering at sea is steadily
growing as people look to the organic nature of the water to
help them bring closure to the loss of a loved one. Ash
scattering at sea combines a sense of finality and a sense
of a new beginning. It returns us to nature and the origin
of our being.
We offer a dignified means for the families and loved ones
who have reached the decision to scatter their loved one's
remains in the blue waters. The vessel "Real Escape" will
leave from picturesque Old Saybrook, CT. After leaving the
dock, the captain will maneuver the boat to the site. There,
with the boat at rest, family and friends may conduct
whatever type of memorial service they feel appropriate;
music can be played, individual personal memories may be
expressed, or other reflections on the deceased may be
expressed by the attendees. Family and/or friends then will
scatter the ashes. Real cut flowers or flower petals may be
dispersed at the site.
People who love the water often ask that their ashes be
scattered at sea. This is a beautiful way for family and
friends to say goodbye. We do our very best to honor the
wishes of family and friends if there is a certain landmark
or geographic area near where they would like to spread
their loved one's ashes. We are just a short boat ride from
several picturesque and well-known areas. |
