New England Burial At Sea offers free seminar on ash scattering and burial at sea at Brockton Council on Aging, September 21

New England Burial At Sea offers free seminar on ash scattering and burial at sea at Brockton Council on Aging, September 21.

New England Burials at Sea (NEBAS) will conduct a free informational seminar on ash scattering and burial at sea on Monday, September 21, from 1pm to 2:15pm at the Brockton Council on Aging, 10 Father Kenney Way (Rte 28), Brockton, MA 02301.

Captain Brad White, founder of NEBAS, will host the seminar, which will include a PowerPoint presentation on what’s involved with ash scatterings and burial at sea. The seminar will also include speakers from fields that support the burial at sea process. That includes: Scott Deware, a licensed Funeral Director; Attorney Lee Gifford J.D / MBA of Haufler Law Associates in Norwell, MA; and Gwen W. Morgan – Author of the “What if...Workbook”.

“With the limited amount of space in cemeteries and the costs associated with traditional funerals, many people would like to consider cremation and ash scattering services, but really do not know where to start. This seminar will provide an overview and give interested parties the opportunity to ask questions of the experts involved,” said White.”
