Are you aware of the different types of memorials for spreading cremated remains? Have you reflected on the calming atmosphere of a ceremony at sea? If not, then you may wish to reconsider.

Think about the soothing tranquility that the sea provides. Doesn't your loved one deserve to be laid to rest in that type of serene environment?

If you’re interested in learning more about cremation memorials at sea, then you’ll want to invest 20 minutes for this edition of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds talks to Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services in Vancouver, who discusses their new Family Ceremony at Sea service.

Knowing what to do with your loved one’s ashes can be a difficult burden. This interview offers information about a respectful way for your family to put the remains of a loved one to rest.

What Is the Family Ceremony at Sea Service?

Valerie kicks off the episode by explaining the service. She then walks listeners through what they can expect during the Family Ceremony at Sea, which takes place in English Bay, Vancouver.

The staff of Martin Brothers Funeral Homes works to ensure that the ceremony is a good experience for everyone who attends, because they recognize the significance of this event.

If you haven’t considered the benefits of this type of service as a way for your family to commit your remains, then it may be time to consider pre-planning your own final wishes.

What Guests of the Ceremony Can Expect

Next Valerie goes over what people can expect when attending the ceremony. She also answers other questions, such as these:

- Who can I bring with me on the ceremony?
- Is the ceremony always on the same day and time?
- What are other options I can choose?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Does my lost loved one deserve a peaceful ceremony like this? Do I want my family to have this kind of memorial for me after I’m gone? If you answered “Yes” to either or both of these questions, then it’s time to contact Martin Brothers for more information.

Exploring the Costs for Ceremonies at Sea

Valerie then goes into what you can expect to pay for this kind of ceremony. As she goes over the prices, she explains why they’re more affordable than you might think.

Ultimately the cost depends on the options you choose for your individual service, because Martin Brothers can tailor everything so that it is as unique as your lost loved one.

A Family Ceremony at Sea service in the English Bay is so peaceful. What’s preventing you from finding out whether this is the right option to celebrate the life of your lost loved one?

Valerie wraps up the episode by sharing her final thoughts on cremation memorials at sea, and invites listeners to contact the funeral chapel for more information.
