Where do you scatterings take place?

The EPA requires that we travel a minimum of 3 nautical miles from land for an ash scattering.

Our standard service travels 3 miles offshore of the Chatham Lighthouse. This location allows us to minimize the time spent on the open ocean, which in turn, minimizes the chances of guests getting sea sick. Its always best to avoid adding a queasy stomach to an already emotional day.

The Lighthouse also provides a tangible location for loved ones to visit in the future. The overlook offers a spectacular view, free parking and is open 365 days per year. Guests can look out over where the scattering took place without the need of a boat.

If your loved one requested a different location, we will do our best to accommodate. However, we are limited by the total duration of the trip to an area from Nauset Beach down to Monomoy Island. We unfortunately cannot accommodate requests further afield than that. We also cannot legally scatter ashes within Pleasant Bay.
