New England Burials at Sea LLC Announces New Concierge Hospitality and Travel Services

To meet the needs of many new clients visiting Boston for memorial burial at sea services, New England Burials At Sea, (NEBAS) has recently expanded their range of hospitality and travel related services.

In April, company founder Captain Brad White launched the new Concierge program which includes priority hotel and restaurant reservations, meeting reception space, flowers, airport water taxi service and city trolley transportation.

Capt. White has added these new programs in 2011 to meet additional demand for traveling families to the Boston area.

As part of the Concierge Program, NEBAS partnered with the pet friendly Fairmont Battery Wharf Hotel as its preferred accommodation choice in Boston. The hotel is located directly on the Harbor and features contemporary accommodations and state of the art event space as well as a new restaurant with a seasonal outdoor dockside terrace.

The Rowe’s Wharf Water Transport Company provides on demand water taxi pick up service with direct routing from the airport across the harbor to the hotel dock aboard an efficient, convenient and comfortable green electric boat water taxi which is the regions only zero emissions boat.

In addition, NEBAS has selected Winston Flowers, Boston’s premier florist to work with sea burial clients while visiting Boston because of their top quality of service and fresh ocean friendly florals . According to White, “Winston’s entire staff is compassionate and knowledgeable as they truly understand the sensitive nature of our business while also being familiar with our vessels. They have fresh immediate access to quality flowers that will memorialize with dignity and respect our client’s loved one.”

NEBAS also affiliated with the CityView Trolley company of Boston to provide group downtown city transportation with historic city tours also available for families.

“Our new concierge service allows our guests to be as comfortable as possible during their time of grief & mourning with one simple phone call that handles it all and we are proud to be affiliated with these four new Boston area partners to our company,” said White.

DirectBuy of Boston South provides one-stop shopping solution for green building materials and appliances.

ROCKLAND, MA…There’s a misconception among many consumers that buying “green” refers strictly to products made of natural materials. While that’s part of the equation, there’s much more to it. Like appliances and lighting that last longer and use less power to run. Or plumbing that requires less water. At DirectBuy of Boston South, members not only have the opportunity to purchase the full spectrum of green products under one roof, but they also can save some “green” buy paying manufacturer-direct prices.

Some of the green products available to DirectBuy members include:

  • Faucets and plumbing fixtures that offer low consumption
  •  Natural cork flooring and underlayments
  •  Flooring made of renewable natural bamboo 
  •  Lighting and ceiling fans with Energy Star ratings
  •  Energy Star compliant kitchen appliances, washers and dryers
  •  Cabinets treated with low-voc, LEED-compliant stains
  •  Bedroom, dining room, living furniture manufactured by members of the Sustainable Furniture Council; many of these pieces are made from natural fibers, use eco-friendly foam and contain organic, halogen-free fire retardants.

“Consumers are always being encouraged to make ‘greener’ purchases, but there’s no real road map as to where to make these purchases and whether or not what they do buy is green,” said John Massaria, owner of DirectBuy of Boston South. “The green products our members can buy through DirectBuy have been rated by recognized authorities like Energy Star, LEED and the Sustainable Furniture Council, so you know the green purchase you’re making is part of the solution.”

Energy Star ratings refer to the U.S.-government backed program ranking the energy efficiency of products. LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a voluntary green building rating system, which is a consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable buildings. The Sustainable Furniture Council is a non-profit balanced coalition of manufacturers, retailers and consumers offering a public tagging program to identify good “green” choices.

“We all know we should be making greener purchases, particularly when it comes to products we use in our everyday lives like lighting and appliances. Unfortunately, making those wiser choices can be quite costly. By making all these green options available at DirectBuy, we give our members the choice to save money and valuable natural resources,” said Massaria.

Since 1971, DirectBuy has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer. DirectBuy of Boston South, conveniently located at 11A Commerce Road in Rockland, Massachusetts, offers consumers a comfortable, welcoming setting where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.
