Scattering By Aircraft

Pacific Coast Ashes at Sea offers offshore scattering by airplane over the Pacific Ocean departing from the Los Angeles and/or Santa Barbara areas, to complement our traditional boat "ash scattering at sea" services.

Perhaps the deceased was fond of, involved with, or otherwise appreciated the beauty and serenity of the Pacific Ocean . . . and perhaps expressed a desire to "return to the sea, from which we came." An aerial scattering over the Pacific Ocean would be a fitting eternal memorial for your loved one's remains. Our scatterings are done with respect, reverence, thoughtfulness and dignity. We, too, have lost loved ones, and realize how important it is to survivors to conduct our scatterings in the most professional and caring manner.

The ash dispersal flight will be flown within a few days of receipt of cremains. Due to aircraft size, routings, unpredictable weather, insurance and Federal Aviation Administration rules, we cannot take passengers along on the dispersal flights. However, the exact dispersal location coordinates will be provided on our Certificate of Sea Scattering for your reference.

The total cost for scattering and certificate is $ 695.

For information call toll-free 888-908-8800.

For outside the state of California dispersals, our affiliates can arrange aircraft scattering services in Alaska, Washington, or Oregon. A small additional charge of $150 is required when affiliates are used.
