Pet Burials at Sea New England Burials At Sea, (NEBAS), serving families from Maine to Miami with burial at sea scatterings for humans, has recently announced a new service – Pet Burials at Sea to memorialize beloved, furry and feathered friends. NEBAS company founder Captain Brad White now provides a dignified “celebration of life” ash scattering ceremony for pets. Pet burial services include a burial certificate marking the time, date, latitude and longitude of the ash scattering ceremony. 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. Families may obtain better closure from an ash scattering at sea ceremony that celebrates and commemorates their cherished pet.” 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. Ash
