Capt. Brad White and the class of 2019 at the Fine Mortuary College

Capt. Brad White-Founder of NEBAS reported that 23 students from the Fine Mortuary College’s 2019 summer academic year participated in the NEBAS Sea Burial Certification program™ offered to Colleges, Universities, Associations and multi-unit funeral homes by NEBAS. 

Capt. White said, “This summer the class took a great interest in our 2019 training and certification program so they could immediately use the newly acquired knowledge about sea burials and bring that info back to their funeral homes for family client offerings.  Students learned about the do’s, don’ts, best methods and practices of scatterings and intact sea burials by both boat and airplane.”

FINE program director Sarah A. Stopyra added, “Captain Brad White’s presentation is always one of the most captivating and informative for our students in the course “Issues and Concerns of a Modern Funeral Service Professional.”  This course investigates the changing face of funeral service and the many unique options available to families in our modern world.  Students leave the class thoroughly informed of sea burial options and the legality surrounding this unique form of disposition.  We are grateful for our continued collaboration with New England Burials at Sea®, helping us to bring to our students the most relevant, forward thinking options in the industry.
