Sea Services' fees reflect our cost to conduct the desired service.  Since we perform burials at  locations nationwide and in several countries, we must adjust pricing to conform with the local requirements.  For example, several states permit burials in coastal bays, while most locations require burials to be performed a minimum of three miles offshore.  Some localities require permits to be obtained.  Fuel and crew costs vary with location.

Where charter services are desired, different types of boats are scheduled depending on the size of the group and the planned voyage.  Much of these requirements are dictated by federal law.  Larger groups require additional crew members.  In areas with busy seasonal business or in vacation areas, summer costs are higher, as vessel availability decreases.  Most large cities require very high docking charges, which also are reflected in fees.

As in any profession, an insured, reputable, experienced company pays its people better, maintains its equipment better and provides a high quality service.  Beware of the uninsured or unlicensed  boat owner who dabbles in "scattering ashes."
