Who performs the actual ash scattering? Will the Captain or the deckhand disperse the ashes?
Usuallly the surviving spouse or closest family member/head of household will disburse the ashes. The deckhand will open the container so that the ashes are accessible/available. Will the ashes blow back onto the boat? The Captain will position the boat so that the ashes can be dispersed with the wind so that they will blow away from the boat. Do you provide flowers? No. Two recommended nearby florists are: Nancy Ann Flowers(1505 Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA Tel: (415) 332-6272 ) and Lady Bug (1303 Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA Tel: (415) 332-2414). Rose petals are often available and scattered rose petals make for a nice setting. Will I get seasick? We have never had anyone get seasick on an ash scattering as we usually do not encounter ocean swell conditions. However, there are over-the-counter medications available at your local pharmacy if you feel you may be especially susceptible to seasickness.
