Very busy lately! My brother Jim, who owns Veterans Funeral Care and Best Care Cremation, told me this week that more and more people are choosing cremation over burial in large numbers, especially in the Tampa Bay Region. The choice for people being cremated are now around 83% of all deaths in our area, verses traditional burial in a cemetery. I try and serve family's by reading a Scripture with a very short commentary, perform the committal (Just like at a graveside) and then pray for the family and use my basket to scatter the ashes. And I try and make this available at a very affordable cost. So if you know anyone looking to scatter their loved one's ashes on the water, tell them about me.

Hey FB friends, a little commercial here:

This past year I've been working with my brother's funeral home, Veterans Funeral Care by taking families out on my Tiara Yacht and scattering the ashes of their loved ones. I performed 6 commitals in December alone. Customers choose me because 1) I'm a licensed USCG Charter Captain, and 2) I'm a licensed, retired, ordained minister.

If you know of any families looking to scatter their loved one's ashes, please tell them about my services. I also scatter ashes for people that cannot go out on the boat, but want their loved one's ashes scattered anyway.

I'm grateful to Jim Rudolph for challenging me to incorporate this into my charter portfolio and it was him who talked me into buying the Tiara just for this service. You can get all the info that you need on my website by watching the video and browsing my pages. Thanks in advance for the referrals!!!

Unattended Family Attended About the Captain Unattended Ash Scattering Very often families are not able to attend a sea scattering committal ceremony. Capt. Jeff will bring the cremated remains to the Gulf of Mexico off of the coast of the Clearwater, FL area or the Florida Keys for you. In a revere...
