Our primary aerial ash scattering locations are in the Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans. We also scatter ashes throughout the fifty United States wherever allowed by Law. The SF Bay, California and Hawaiian Coastlines are particularly popular. In addition to our aerial ash scattering service, we can also offer some ash scatterings by boat or by hand.
A Passion for Flight and a Legacy of Service
Terri’s father Oren C. Lewis served as Guy’s co-pilot for 25 happy years of scattering ashes as a team. Sergeant Lewis served as a B-29 top gunner in World War II and flew 33 bombing missions over Japan from their base on Saipan in the Pacific. We honor Oren’s service as an Army Air Corp Gunner. He is fondly remembered and missed.
