Typical Funeral Procedure

Freedom will travel through the Bridge of Lions and offshore, where the scattering will take place.

After a calm location is obtained, the vessel will heave-to (stop under sail) for the service. 

The ashes are scattered to leeward.

The traditional bos'un's call is piped, the ships bell is rung, and a bagpipe version of Amazing Grace is played.

Call for pricing and availability.

Reduced pricing may be given to smaller groups at off-hours.

Please note: our captains reserve the right to change the route of the trip if conditions offshore are not favorable.
