I thought about that too. Through the sea strainer though!

I saw a few complete body burials when I was in the Navy.

Sorry for your loss.

We disposed some (I have the rest) of my fathers ashes at red buoy 14 around Barnegat lighthouse. After ashes went flowers. We were all looking at the lighthouse when someone looked down and somehow one of the flowers ended up in the well (outboard boat). Left a sense of calm and I always feel safe when I go out the inlet. I was 12

gofastscott.....

I would think you should be able to start a new thread and get another member in the area to volunteer his/her boat and time to accommodate the rest of the people that your boat cant handle.

ashes at sea
 
I told my wife to put my ashes in a douche bag, and run me through one more time..

On a more serious note, I have done it a few times, for my family and for friends..It's simple and there are no problems..
A couple of tips: Do it on a calm day, you will be more than pleased with the results.. Make sure the wind is in your favor..I go out near the Gulfstream in the bluest water I can find..Stop the boat, very important, and put the remains in as close to the water as you can.. Bend way over the side..You only have to pour them in one spot, don't try to spread them in the wind or they will blow all over you...Have a camera ready, and remain in that spot for a few minutes, and you will see a white cloud that is ghostly in appearance in the water..The women will cry, and so may you, but seeing the cloud in the water will put you all at peace..Flowers are great too..
Sorry for your loss, may they rest in peace..
Good luck..

Yo! Congrats.... I have not laughed that hard in forty five years. You need to copy write that. I think it was part to a sad post that went totaly wrong but I think the deceased would also have laughed that hard. Thanks!

My Dear friend/ Brother in law died suddenly on 1/12/12 he was a Navy Deep Diver only 44 yrs old. We are taking his ashes to Key West and spread in the Gulfstream this summer, till then He is resting on our mantle. He never had the chance to ride on my Skater during his time here, but He will be that day.
