Ocean Scattering Services
Ocean Scattering Services in Key West
Ocean scattering is a very meaningful last journey for people who have always felt a strong connection to the sea. We offer a unique and respectful ocean scattering service off the beautiful coast of Key West, Florida, at Schlitzer Allen Pugh Funeral Home. This service sets us apart from other funeral homes in the Pottsville, PA area and beyond.
For a lot of people, the ocean has always been very important. Returning your loved one's remains to the sea is a lasting way to honor their spirit and the life they lived, whether they were an avid sailor, a passionate fisherman, a devoted beachgoer, or just someone who found peace and comfort in the sound of the waves.
What Makes Our Service Unique
Our ocean scattering service is different from regular sea scattering services, which just throw remains from a boat. Our licensed funeral directors take the greatest care, precision, and respect with every part of this last journey.
- Personal Transportation by Our Funeral Director - One of our licensed funeral directors will personally take your loved one's cremated remains to Key West. We never use shipping or delivery services from other companies. We will take care of your loved one from the time you leave them with us until the scattering ceremony is over. Families can rest easy knowing that this chain of custody has never been broken.
- Professional Placement by Certified Scuba Divers - Rather than simply scattering remains from the surface, our team can ensure precise, respectful placement on a beautiful wreck or reef beneath the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys. This creates a permanent, identifiable memorial site in one of the world's most spectacular underwater environments.
- Complete Documentation Package - Every ocean scattering service comes with a full record of your loved one's last journey. You will get a certificate with the exact GPS coordinates of the memorial site. This will let family members go back there in the future if they want to. We also take pictures and videos of the whole scattering ceremony so that your family can keep them forever.
