Why Use Our Services
How does a beautiful, sun-filled day sail just beyond the shores of New Orleans sound to you?
Perhaps a spectacular sunset cruise with the sun touching the water as an orange and red backdrop?
All while sampling your deceased loved one’s favorite foods and drink.
Share with each other all the fun times and the sad moments that you spent with them in life.
At the captain’s appointed time, you will scatter the remains of your loved one from a beautiful magnolia leaf lined basket filled with rose petals and roses.
Or, if you have chosen to use biodegradable urns, they can be placed directly into the water.
Either way, it is an unforgettable way to honor the life of your loved one in a circle of life ceremony!
Sailings start at just $2000 for a family of 6.
A fraction of the cost of a traditional funeral which can end up costing a family thousands of dollars.
Additional packages for up to 12 people are available.

Scattering Options
* We prefer that you use a biodegradable urn if you choose to scatter from one. They are available in a vast selection of choices and a wide range of prices. Your funeral director can assist you in selecting one or we can handle that for you.
The urns can be placed directly into the water.
* As an alternate, the family has the option to do our beautiful basket scatter. We use a magnolia leaf lined basket filled with fresh rose petals, your loved one’s remains and stemmed roses which are lowered into the water and scattered.
Other family members will toss rose petals and sunflowers into the water after the scatter, allowing everyone to be a part of the memorable event.
