Aerial Dispersion (scattering) of Cremated Remains
Our special service provides closure for family members who have experienced the loss of a loved one. We provide aerial dispersion "scattering" of cremated remains off California's Big Sur coastline. The unsurpassed beauty of this mountainous
seacoast along Highway 1 is well known. My flights depart from the beautiful green
Salinas Valley (featured in John Steinbeck's famous book, "East of Eden"),
cross over one of the original California Missions near Soledad, and continue
over the Santa Lucia Mountain Range to the Big Sur coastline. I especially like
to fly out over the historic and very scenic Point Sur Lighthouse area
(shown in the picture above).
State of California Regulations define where the aerial
dispersion of cremated remains may take place. Special Note: Aerial
dispersion over land is possible, but requires the landowners
written permission. Avoid getting seasick on a boat. Let me
fly this special mission of "closure" for you.
I
am a licensed Commercial Pilot. All flights will be made by myself
and a copilot (as a certifying witness). Our aircraft is fully
licensed and certified by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). I am licensed by the State of California Cemetery Board
for Cremated Remains Dispersion (CRD); Registration #444. I retired
as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force and would encourage you
to call the personal references I have listed. We appreciate
your trust and hold the deepest respect for families who have
used our service.
You will receive a beautiful "NOTARIZED" Dispersion Certificate
detailing the date, time and exact location (latitude & longitude) of the
dispersion along with a "very personal" Pilot's Note.
Once
we receive your loved one's cremated remains, they will be dispersed
in a timely manner, weather permitting.
Note: You may request
to coordinate the dispersion date and personally witness the dispersion
flight. My goal is to make a difficult time, easier for you.
Call for a price list of our aerial dispersion service options. Payment is required
at the time of pickup. If you so desire, we will personally pickup cremated remains
from your home or from any Funeral Chapel.

*Note: The dispersion of beloved pet remains can also be done upon special
request.
