Donna,
I just went online to contact you. It was truly awesome and I thank you for all of your assistance. We had a repast at Laguna Grill, a really nice restaurant on the beach at Brigantine. Full length windows and great food. Then we were off to the boat. I didn't know what to expect ahead of time but it turned out to be a real experience. We got tossed about a bit and laughed our heads off a whole lot. It became almost solemn as we dispensed the ashes but we got thrown about and knocked into each other and laughed some more. We said a prayer and our goodbyes with love and I truly felt like we were setting them free and that we had made them both very happy. I really love the both of them and never realized before how much better this is than the usual funeral. Minutes after we dispensed the ashes and 18 red roses the sun set just beautifully right on the water where we had just been. We had a little lightening and when we got back to the dock we just made it to our cars when it started to thunder and rain heavily. We actually had just made it into our cars. It was a pretty remarkable experience and then a full moon popped out. A spiritual and touching event as well as a true celebration of two people I dearly love.
AGAIN, I THANK YOU.

Dear Donna,
Many thanks to you, Captain Gus, and his shipmate for making one of the most difficult times in our lives a memorable experience. The sea scattering service you provided for my mother was carried out with honor and dignity, and Captain Gus went above and beyond, spending the majority of his day on the bay waiting for the right time to fulfill our needs. I intend to recommend Sea Services to anyone who might be interested. There is only one opportunity to say good-bye to a loved one the "right" way, and we certainly made the perfect choice. Thank you so much for your help in doing so.

Dear Donna,
I would like to let you know that the service you provided for my mother's scattering at sea worked out very well.
Captain Darrel and his crew were professional and helpful in evry way. His boat was clean and comfortable for the size of our family.
Despite the stormy weather that week, the day turned out to be sunny and the evening was calm. We had a beautiful sunset to say final farewell to our mother.
Once again, thank you for your wonderful service!

Hi Donna,
I wanted to express how well everything went on Saturday. The weather was terrific and Captain Tom was excellent as was his boat. The captain and his mate were wonderful in making my family and friends of my brother feel comfortable during the entire ride out to the lighthouse and back. As a matter of fact, when we scattered my brother’s ashes/urn into the ocean, at that very moment the sun peaked out from behind the clouds, and again as Captain Tom circled the area.
I would not hesitate to recommend your service or Captain Tom to anyone.
Once again thank you.

Donna, Everything was perfect. My entire family was so pleased with the whole experience. It was just so special. The Captain (Stu) and his shipmate were so very nice and helpful. The deceased was my mother. Her name is "Betty Windhorst" I appreciate all of your help.
Thank you,

Donna,
The support provided by Captain Rusty and his brother (I believe Randy) was outstanding. They are very nice, caring people and they were of great help to me, my family and our friend.
I don’t know if you have met them personally but you should. They are perfect examples of the Hawaiian and Kahmaina Spirit (9pelling?) the term given to Whites or outsiders that inhabit the Islands.
I would strongly recommend them for any of your future arrangements and please forward this e mail to them.
I also wish to thank you for your support. The value received was well worth the cost considering the effort extended by you and your representatives.

Donna - just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the way things went yesterday -- fortunately we had perfect weather -- and the charter company you used was great -- they switched us to a larger more comfortable boat since it was available. Thank you for your help!

"To Seaservices,
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you. Capt Judy's services were very professional and very well done. The weather was perfect and my sister in law did not get sea sick! We did not know what to expect and I must tell you my husband and his sister were very pleased with the service. Thank you again for all your assistance in arranging this for us. We have been telling everybody about your services and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks for making it so easy for us and taking care of everything. "

"To Seaservices,
We can't thank you enough for the beautiful "ashes-burial at sea", my dear friend, Jeanne had spoken of, (Atlantic City Port, 10-1-05). We told many aquaintances about it who didn't realize such funeral options were available. We plan to return yearly. Thanks again. Happy (upcoming holidays and God Bless!"

"To Seaservices,
It was so nice meeting you! I always imagined you as a regular guy just caring for people and that is what you are. Being there near Fire Island was the high point of my vacation. Thank, with much affection."
