Capt. Brad White

The nation’s most requested at sea burial service, New England Burial at Sea LLC (NEBAS) has recently announced that the renowned VCA South Shore Animal Hospital in South Weymouth is adding their services.

NEBAS will be providing Pet Burial at Sea services (Ash scatterings) to VCA South Shore pet owners who wish to memorialize their beloved, furry friends who have passed on.

NEBAS company founder Captain Brad White provides a dignified “celebration of life” ash scattering ceremony for pets. Pet burial services include a Burial Certificate with pet’s photo, marking the time, date, latitude and longitude of the ash scattering ceremony. An unattended Pet Burial at Sea is $95, while an attended Pet Burial at Sea service for the pet owner and up to six friends/family is at the special price of $750 (Departing Scituate, MA) if arranged through VCA South Shore. Pet Burial at Sea materials are available in the VCA South Shore’s Bereavement Room.

Capt. White explained, “We know that pets are also beloved members of any family and we treat their ash scattering ceremonies with deep respect and seriousness. Losing a pet can be particularly difficult for anyone. Families may obtain better closure from an ash scattering at sea ceremony that celebrates and commemorates their cherished pet.”

Christy Hunter, VCA South Shore Hospital Co-Administrator said, “The staff at VCA South Shore Animal Hospital feels New England Burials at Sea can offer caring, dignified and affordable scatterings at sea providing pet parents an alternative end of life option to remember and honor their pets.”

White added, “This is a first step in launching our services nationwide through high quality animal hospitals across America because many pet parents frequently call us wanting to learn more about our available services in their geographic area where we may be already operating.”

NEBAS Ash Scatterings are approved per USCG and EPA regulations. NEBAS voyages out three nautical miles, scatters ashes with a customized sea tribute service and returns to port. Biodegradable sea wreaths or rose petal scattering and music are other options available during an Attended Ash Scattering Ceremony for Pets, but are not included in the cost of the ceremony.

“Belated Burials at Sea” Now Offered Through New England Burials at Sea LLC

New England Burials At Sea, (NEBAS) has recently launched a new service and website to help bring closure to families who wish to honor their loved ones with a Belated Burial at Sea (www.belatedburials.com).

The vast majority of cremations never have a proper, dignified “celebration of life” burial ceremony. Company founder Captain Brad White recently announced a new service now offered at NEBAS – the Belated Burial – a memorial ash scattering that pays tribute to a loved one when a family is still holding onto their cremated remains and not knowing how to put them to final rest.

According to Capt. White, “Typically, during the first year following cremation, the remains are placed proudly on the fireplace mantel. As the years go by, the remains are eventually moved to the hallway closet behind a tennis racquet and by year five, or even year 10, someone has an epiphany that a burial at sea or other ‘celebration’ would be a great final and proper tribute.”

NEBAS is the best known company in the USA for sea burials and it uses only properly insured and licensed captains with current U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) certifications who only use clean, safe and up to date vessels from Maine to Miami as well as San Francisco to San Diego. Vessels vary from vintage Maine down east style to sport or luxury level vessels accommodating up to 400 people.

NEBAS also offers full body ocean burials with their patent pending organic Atlantic Sea Burial Shroud®
