Scattering cremated remains by airplane is a very popular way to have a burial at sea. It is an elegant, memorable and inexpensive option for your loved ones remains.
Often when people think of scattering cremated remains at sea they think of scattering by a boat. This way has some very nice aspects, but also has some drawbacks. The process takes several hours. Expect to spend a day on the boat with your loved ones. The captain that you hired will depend on the size of your group. A boat that holds up to 6 passengers requires one type of captain. If there is over 6 passengers a different type of captain would be required. This affects the cost of the scattering. Remember that some of your family members may get seasick and you might want to take precautions.
