The crew at SwanSong Burial helped us have a beautiful service to honor my grandmother. We booked their larger boat, the Albatross. The boat had a sound system for playing our own music, a microphone for speeches/readings, and beer/wine available for purchase. The Captain, Paul, was very kind and he made the entire experience unforgettable for my family. Highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough about Swan Song and the service Captain Paul put together for my son Derek. We took the larger boat, the Albatross, there were 38 of us. Capt Paul and Capt Chip were wonderful at accommodating our needs. My elderly parents, both with walkers, and Derek's Mom (in a wheelchair) were easily brought onto the vessel with the guidance from Capt Paul. Had a great ride out of Sesuit Harbor to Cape Cod Bay. Capt Paul assured me on the ride out that there was no wrong way to say last words. My daughter, Melissa spoke before we put Derek to rest, and I said a few words. The salt urn was lowered into the ocean (by my young strong Nephew and Son in law). We brought roses and everyone onboard threw one into the water. Capt Chip slowly circled the floating roses so we could all take pictures and say a prayer. Highly recommended. Thank You Capt Paul and Capt Chip! God Bless, JB read more

So happy that I found Swan Song at sea burials online. Was doing my best to honor my Dads wishes to have his ashes spread in the ocean. Once I spoke with Paul, I knew I found the answer. Paul was very responsive and understanding to all of my questions. I booked their larger boat the 'Albatross' last summer. Could not have imagined a better way to celebrate my Dads life. The day truly was beautiful. They went above and beyond to make this a memorable and meaningful day for the whole family. I highly recommend Swan Song and their crew. read more

We worked with SwanSong to scatter my mother's remains in Cape Cod bay last weekend. Paul was responsive and helpful from the first time I called asking about their services, and he was patient and understanding with my (many, many) questions about how the process would work. Six of us went out on the boat, and Paul helped us have the meaningful experience we were hoping for. We're very grateful we found SwanSong and for all of Paul's help throughout the entire process. read more

I contacted SwanSong Burial At Sea to scatter my husband's ashes off the coast of Massachusetts. Prior to contacting this company, I had no idea what to do with the ashes or how to scatter them in a way that was legal, environmentally safe, and in a way my husband would have wanted. I did a lot of internet research before finding this service. Paul, the owner, was extremely nice, professional, and compassionate. He constantly kept me updated with text messages when he received the parcel and when the weather cleared enough for him to go out. He even sent me lovely photographs of the service they held and a certificate of the latitude and longitude where the ceremony happened. I'm so glad I used this service and, I think, finally, I feel at peace. read more

I recently lost my father and wanted to honor his wishes to be scattered at sea. After looking online I came upon Swan Song Burial and spoke with Paul (owner) who was very kind and professional. He said he started this business after also wanting to scatter a loved one's ashes and found not many places doing it. You can tell that he is invested in this emotionally and treats you as if you were his family and not just a paycheck. His prices are very reasonable and the location is very easy to get to with plenty of parking. His son was also onboard and helped out during the trip. Overall my family and I (including my dad's dog) all got to go out and fulfill his final request and had a truly unforgettable experience. Definitely highly recommend them. read more
