Burials At Sea

Since the beginning of time, man has marveled at the world's great oceans. The sea's glory and power, peace and tranquility, have brought enlightenment and comfort to mankind. Eternally changing, forever enduring, the world's oceans are a final resting place to countless generations.

K&A Charters can provide private ash scattering or charter voyages, our licensed  professionals sensitively attend to your wishes.

Whether you have questions about burial at sea or scattering of remains, K&A Charters consultants are always just a phone call away.

We are not a crematory or funeral home. We're not a Memorial "Society" or club. We never require you to join a club to use our service. 

 

Unattended Service

Often families cannot venture to sea or attend a sea scattering service.  Our captains bring the cremated remains on an ocean voyage for you.  A dignified sea scattering or burial at sea is performed and documented, with latitude and longitude of the burial site.  This documentation is then sent to you.  This is our most popular service, with prices beginning at just $195. 

While the Captain's Service does not provide for the family or guests to accompany the vessel, specific requests, such as dates or times, special prayers or simple ceremonies are often available.  Special planning, however, can add to our costs.   Many ports have seasonal demands and schedules vary at different times of the year.   You may call us for specific fees at the port of your choice.

Most often, cremated remains are received at K&A Charters via Registered US Mail, sometimes directly from the funeral home or crematory.   Of course, more personal transportation can be arranged, but this, too, can add to costs.   "Three Easy Steps" click this link.

Call us anytime with your specific wishes, or to discuss our services.  We will accommodate your desires while insuring the best value. 

 

Family Service

For those families wishing to plan their own memorial voyage, K&A Charters provides the vessel and crew, from the port of your choice.  You select the time, place and arrangements and invite as many guests as you wish.  

We have many vessels at your service.  And we can help you plan every detail of this special memorial.  We can even arrange dinners, luncheons and transportation for your group.   As your voyage will be a first-time maritime funeral experience for many of your guests, K&A Charters will work closely with you to make this a fitting memorial occasion, carefully evaluating your needs and desires to insure a safe, comfortable and memorable event for all.  

First-class family services like these vary greatly in every detail.  Likewise, their costs also vary considerably.  The modest one hour journey from a port during an off-peak season can cost as little as $750.00.  Average costs for a small group range in the $750.00 to $2000 area.  Larger groups, special services or trips in the height of the recreational boating season can add greatly to our costs. 

Whether your group is large or small, from one guest to several hundred, our carefully chosen captains and crews have the licensing and experience to provide a safe, and most memorable trip.
