Teraloom offers three types of memorial services; Accompanied, Unaccompanied, and Assisted.
Accompanied Memorial Service
This service is the best option for families seeking to scatter ashes at sea or have a beautiful ash scattering memorial in nature. An experienced captain or guide will take the family to a designated location where scattering ashes is authorized. The event can be simple or personalized based on the deceased's final wishes or the family's needs. You can personalize an accompanied memorial service to make it a beautiful and remarkable event.
The Accompanied Memorial Service includes the following:
Photography options and recording the GPS coordinates of exact scattering location is available with every service.
Unaccompanied Service
A perfect option for those who might be physically, financially, or otherwise restricted from traveling to the place they would like a loved one to be scattered. This option can also be helpful for those who wish to memorialize someone with whom they might not have had a close relationship. In this service one of our trained professionals transports, documents, and disperses a loved one’s ashes.

We order the kit to be sent to the funeral home or your residence. Funeral directors should include a copy of the death certificate and a copy of the certificate of cremation with the cremated remains.
Standard Timing vs. Exact Date
Standard Timing: (typically ashes are scattered within 30-90 days, pending seasonal considerations) With this option we plan the best day for a loved one's scattering event. We keep families updated along the way and will provide an exact scattering date as well as approximate time once the memorial is scheduled.
Exact Date: Does your family want to have a loved one's ashes scattered on a special day? (birthday, anniversary, date of passing, etc.) Once they select a special date, we will reach out to confirm if we are able to go out on that date given the weather, sea conditions, or other scheduled events.
Do-It-Yourself Service
The best option for those who are interested in scattering their loved one's ashes on their own and would like to receive assistance with this process. This is an affordable option for those seeking an intimate and personal ash scattering.
