The Angel's Ashes Thank you for honoring our sister Rita in the way that you did. It was done in a very respectful way. Thank you, ~Georg and Krista [More Reviews >>]

Permits and Forms

During this difficult period, you do not need to have the additional anxiety of trying to figure everything out. Just call us and we will take you through the steps very peacefully.

The document entitled ‘Authorization and Permit for Disposal of Human Remains’ can be obtained from a Crematorium, Mortuary, or local Health Department. The cost of this document is about $12. When you are getting this form, simply tell them of your intentions such as, “We will be scattering the ashes at sea in LA County” or “Orange County”. They only need to know which county the ashes will be scattered:  You are the only one that can obtain this form:  I am not allowed to do that unless a Mortuary or Crematorium has made arrangements with me to do that. Bring this with you the day of the ceremony. Sometimes, when you are out-of-State, this can be difficult to obtain. If you encounter any problems, please contact us.

FORMS

The Authorization form   can be obtained by ‘clicking’ on the ‘Authorization Form’ on our web site. Please email to us this completed and signed form or simply bring it with you the day of the funeral. This is protecting you by telling us what we can and cannot do and protects us by clarifying what you are authorizing us to do. If you cannot email this to us or have difficulty downloading it, we will have the form for you the day of the service. This form is also used by us to make sure we have all the addresses correct for mailing the Memorial Certificate. The Memorial Certificate identifies the exact Longitude and Latitude and time of day where the ashes were scattered at sea. It is a beautiful document and quite suitable for mounting.

You will want to keep this information should you wish to re-visit the exact site in the future. This is a very common practice.

For the Military, you may need your loved one’s discharge papers. These are used to obtain a free 9’ American flag (coffin or burial flag) from a local post office. Without these papers, you may have to purchase a flag should you desire the flag folding portion of the ceremony. They cost a little over $100. You may also want to to arrange for an Honor Guard ceremony.
