Memorials at Sea Southport
5 More Minutes Charters, led by the experienced and compassionate Captain Darren, offers personalized Memorial at Sea Southport ceremonies off the coasts of Southport and Oak Island, NC. Families can choose from three unique options to honor their loved ones: attended, unattended, or partial ceremonies.
Each service is conducted with dignity and care, featuring the release of ashes in a biodegradable bamboo urn, accompanied by flowers and petals that gently drift on the ocean’s surface.
For those present, the attended ceremony provides a peaceful setting for reflection and shared memories. The unattended ceremony ensures a thoughtful tribute with professional documentation for families unable to attend. The partial ceremony offers an inshore flower service for comfort while the scattering is completed offshore.
All ceremonies include photos, videos, a certificate of coordinates, and compliance with EPA guidelines. Captain Darren and 5 More Minutes Charters are dedicated to helping families create meaningful and lasting tributes on the open sea.
