We can accommodate up to six passengers for the ceremony, which includes having a member of the clergy present if you choose. The Captain will venture to the destination to oversee the committal ceremony and take pictures if you chose.
If you chose not to attend, our captain is trained to carryout a full ceremony without additional passengers. The Captain will perform the ceremony with the same dignity and respect you would find at an attended service. If you wish, the captain will lay flowers in the water and provide photos as well as the location of the final resting place.
Regardless of the ceremony you choose, the Captain will provide a certificate that includes the final resting place (latitude and longitude) as well as the time and date. The certificate will be certified by a member of Swan Song Burial at Sea staff and signed by the US Coast Guard licensed Captain. It will then be mailed once to the destination of your choice, once the ceremony is complete.
