Most people associate a water-based funeral or memorial service with scattering ashes at sea. Did you know that yachts are also a venue for traditional memorial services as well?

If you want to know more about unique funeral services, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds talks with Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services about their scattering ashes at sea service.

It is important to memorialize those who have passed on in a meaningful way. This interview is a chance to learn how Martin Brothers funeral home in Vancouver can help you do that.

Services Aboard Martin Brothers’ Pacific Ceremony Yacht

The episode begins with Valerie introducing listeners to the Pacific Ceremony Yacht, a unique venue for a funeral or memorial service.

Next Valerie explains the advantages of using the yacht as a place to host a celebration of life without scattering ashes at sea. For example, a departed loved one might have been buried in a cemetery, or their ashes scattered elsewhere.

If your loved one felt uncomfortable with the idea of a traditional funeral service, then a yacht offers a unique way to memorialize what they meant to you during their life.

What to Expect During a Funeral Service on a Yacht

Then Valerie explains what a family can expect when they arrange to have a celebration of life on the Pacific Ceremony. During the podcast she also provides answers to these questions:

- Can the route take my family past a meaningful, local landmark?
- Will my family be able to make any stops during the memorial cruise?
- How long does a funeral at sea last compared to a traditional service?
- What options does Martin Brothers offer in regards to catering?
- Do I have to use the ceremony on a yacht to replace a traditional funeral?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Would a funeral on a yacht benefit my family? Do I want to include this service in my own prearrangements? If you answered yes, then you will want to learn more about what the Pacific Ceremony has to offer.

The Pacific Ceremony versus Regular Charters

Next Valerie explains the difference between arranging a memorial on the Pacific Ceremony with Martin Brothers as opposed to a regular charter boat service.

In addition to the other differences she reviews during the podcast is unlike some regular charter boats, a funeral home has the best interest of your lost loved one and grieving family as their top priority.

Grieving families have lost something dear to them, and have different needs than a family that is just going out to enjoy a day together. Can you see where that might affect things?

Valerie wraps up the episode by sharing her final thoughts on funerals held on a yacht and reminds listeners that all the services Martin Brothers offers are fully customizable.
