Do you know about some alternatives to traditional burial or interment services in Vancouver? Would your family prefer a unique way to scatter a loved one’s ashes? Scattering ashes at sea is a popular way to celebrate the life of a loved one lost.

Summer is the perfect time for this type of funeral or memorial service. Can you imagine celebrating a loved one within the tranquil ambiance of being out on the water?

If you want to know more about scattering ashes at sea services, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds talks with Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services about this very unique service in Vancouver, BC.

Scattering a person’s ashes is just as personal as attending a graveside service. This episode of the podcast is your chance to learn a unique way to scatter ashes while honoring your loved one.

A Unique Service for a Lasting Memory

The episode kicks off with Valerie walking us through what happens at a scattering at sea service, which takes place on a beautiful yacht.

Then Valerie details what traditional funeral elements a family may choose to incorporate into this unique way of scattering a loved one’s remains.

Scattering ashes at sea services are just as customizable as a service held at the funeral chapel, a church, or any other venue on land.

Planning to Scatter Ashes at Sea

Next Valerie gives an overview about decisions a family needs to make for scattering ashes at sea services. She also answers questions like:

- What traditional elements can my family include in a memorial at sea?
- Do I have to schedule the service at sea immediately after cremation?
- Who can I invite to a memorial for scattering a loved one’s ashes at sea?
- Is there a way to come back to revisit the site at some future time?
- Can my family scatter more than one person’s ashes in the same service?

Now ask yourself these two things: Would I want scattering ashes at sea services as part of my final wishes? Would this type of service suit someone in my family? If you answered “Yes” to either or both of these questions, then use the information below to start the pre-planning process.

Observations from Families Who Scattered Ashes at Sea

Then Valerie shares feedback from families who chose scattering ashes at sea services with Martin Brothers. The unique nature of the service is not lost on them by far.

As the only funeral home offering this type of service in Vancouver, Martin Brothers feels strongly about giving families meaningful tributes to their loved ones lost.

Valerie explains that Martin Brothers offers more information including a video at the funeral home for families who need more information.

The episode concludes with Valerie reminding that the funeral home has a few remaining spots for the Summer 2017 scattering ashes at sea services calendar.
