They give the ashes to the family and you can do the spreading yourself. We
spread my F-I-L's ashes off Racoon straights in San Franciso bay. There
have been ashes spread from fishing party boats at the end of a days fishing
for people who did most of their fishing from the boat. We have the Neptune
Society here in the West and may be other areas that will make all the
arrangements. Is very resonable compared to earth burial.

It's a fraction of the cost...in fact, travel expenses for the family
were more than cremation and scattering cost us.

An important thing to remember when scattering: make sure you don't
release the cremains into the wind or even a light breeze. People who've
forgotten this little detail have been forced to hose the major portion
of the dear departed off their boats...and even send a portion down
shower drains.
