Ocean Ash Scattering
for Charlotte Families
NC's largest city may be hours from the coast, but that doesn't mean the ocean is out of reach. Our free shipping kit brings a meaningful sea burial to your doorstep — no travel required.
Bringing the Coast to Charlotte
Charlotte is the heart of North Carolina, but it sits about 3.5 hours from the nearest beach. For families who want a sea burial without the long drive, our unattended scattering service makes it effortless. We ship everything you need directly to your Charlotte address, and our captain takes care of the ceremony at sea.
Many Charlotte residents originally relocated from coastal communities or spent years building memories at North Carolina's beaches. Returning a loved one to those waters can be a powerful way to honor their story, no matter how far inland life may have taken them.

Distance Doesn't Diminish Meaning
Charlotte families often tell us the same thing: they wish they could give their loved one a sea burial, but the coast feels too far away. That's exactly why we built our shipping kit service. One small package arrives at your door, you visit your nearest post office, and we handle everything else from Carolina Beach.
There are no plots to purchase, no annual maintenance fees, and no geographic boundaries on where you can remember someone. The Atlantic Ocean becomes a living, enduring memorial — one your family can revisit any time they stand at the shore.
We also serve families in Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville, and across North Carolina.
Sea Burial Questions for Charlotte Families
Do I need to drive to the coast from Charlotte?
Not at all. Our unattended service was designed for families who live far from the ocean. We mail a free shipping kit to your Charlotte home, you drop it at any local post office, and our captain handles everything from there. You never need to leave the city.
How much does ocean ash scattering cost from Charlotte?
Our unattended scattering starts at $400 and covers everything: the shipping kit, captain-led ceremony, fresh flowers, GPS coordinates, Certificate of Sea Burial, and EPA filing. There are no extra fees for shipping to Charlotte.
How long does the entire process take?
After we receive the cremated remains at our Carolina Beach facility, scattering is typically completed within 5–7 business days, weather dependent. Including shipping time from Charlotte, most families complete the process in about 2–3 weeks from first contact.
Is this legal and properly regulated?
Yes. Ocean ash scattering is legal under the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA) when conducted at least 3 nautical miles from shore. We maintain full EPA compliance and file all required documentation after every ceremony.
What if our family wants to attend in person?
We offer an attended ceremony that accommodates up to 6 guests aboard the vessel at Carolina Beach. Charlotte is roughly 3.5 hours from the coast, so some families choose to combine the trip with a weekend at the beach. Many others prefer the simplicity of our unattended option.
