Aerial Scattering
Aerial scattering of our loved one’s cremated remains creates a memorial instead of a marker in a cemetery. It allows certain images and events in our daily lives to invoke memories of that special person. Whether you’re walking on the beach, listening to the sound of waves crashing or viewing a sunrise, you’ll always be reminded that your dearly departed is nearby.
Aerial scattering offers closure in a dignified manner. It is a suitable selection when exploring available options of finding a final resting place.
Caring and Compassionate
It is our promise that we will treat you and your loved one with dignity and respect. We will treat your loved one’s cremated remains as if it were a member of our own family. You can trust that we will carefully and compassionately carry out your scattering with all the honor you, your family and loved one deserves.
Our Trusted and Professional Services
We offer aerial scattering from airplanes owned and operated by Beach Banners. Our professional crew of FAA commercially-licensed pilots will fly off-shore over Northern Florida and scatter the cremated remains of your loved one into the peaceful and majestic Atlantic Ocean.
Following the aerial scattering, a certificate will be issued to the family to certify the date, time and location of the release. The certificate is a keepsake and is an excellent memorial to the family.
