What to do With Cremated Ashes

What to do With Cremated Ashes? At some point in each of our lives, we’ll have to face the tragic and disheartening loss of a loved one. Making the arrangements for memorial services, wakes, funerals, or cremations is a normal and healthy part of this process. It allows us the opportunity to gather with loved ones, remember and honor the ones we’ve lost fondly, and celebrate the time that they spent here with us.

Traditional ceremonies are beautiful but somber events and sometimes they don’t fit the personality of the person who has passed. In recent years, laws and traditions have changed and a new option has emerged: the scattering of ashes. Scattering cremated remains is an innovative method for a memorable and beautiful send-off.

Adeline’s Sea Moose provides the best service for scattering ashes on Lake Michigan in the beautiful and historic city of Chicago. Our vessel will charter you and your guests three miles offshore to perform the exclusive, intimate, and unique maritime memorial that your loved one deserves. Here are a few things to consider about this beautiful memorial alternative:

Let the water soothe you

Floating above Lake Michigan in Chicago is the perfect place to scatter cremated ashes. Attendees will feel at peace and gain closure with the details of the Chicago skyline providing a backdrop that emanates strength and security. The open water is soothing and comforting, which is ideal for this type of occasion.

The sound of the waves on the open water, beautiful views, and exclusive service will provide a peaceful and calming experience for everyone involved. Smaller groups and larger families alike will find this intimate option preferable to all others. The high-end catering and beverage package options are the perfect addition to this day spent celebrating or reflecting on the life of your loved one after scattering their ashes in Lake Michigan Chicago.

Family and Friends Memorial ash scattering 

Our dignified Family and Friend Memorial scattering ashes ceremonies aboard Adeline’s Sea Moose offer a thoughtful way to remember your Loved One and a healing experience for you, your family, and others who join the tribute to the life of a person you all loved and cherished.

Unlike traditional wakes, services, and after-the-funeral gatherings, where you may share space with strangers, Adeline’s Sea Moose provides 68 feet of privacy, comfort, and convenience to offer respect, lay to rest, and celebrate your Loved One.

Our respectful and attentive staff will help you plan every detail of this special memorial, including food and beverages. They will work closely with you to ensure that your maritime memorial occasion meets your desires and is memorable.

For families and friends who can not attend a scattering of their Loved One’s ashes on Lake Michigan service, an Adeline’s Sea Moose captain will bring the cremated remains on the tranquil lake voyage for you and perform a dignified and documented Lake Michigan scattering of ashes, with that documentation provided to you.

While the Captain’s Ceremonial ash scattering does not allow the family or guests to accompany the vessel, specific requests, such as dates or times, special prayers, or simple ceremonies, are often available. Special planning, however, can add to service costs.
