Compassionate Charters for Lasting Tributes

Meet Your Bereavement Ambassador


A Steady, Caring Presence From Start to Farewell

At Restful Reflections, we understand that saying goodbye is deeply personal. That’s why every charter includes the dedicated support of a Bereavement Ambassador—a compassionate guide who will be with you from the moment you arrive to the moment you return to shore.

Your Ambassador is here to welcome your guests, provide comfort, answer questions, and ensure your entire experience is seamless, respectful, and deeply meaningful. Whether you prefer a quiet, reflective atmosphere or wish to include special touches like music, readings, or rituals, your Ambassador will gently coordinate every detail with warmth and care.

Canine Companion

Meet Lincoln, your gentle companion on the water.  Lincoln is a trained service dog who can join you on bereavement charters.  He offers quiet comfort and support to individuals and families during their time of remembrance.  Golden retrievers are known for their calm and loving nature, and Lincoln brings that warmth to every journey.  Weather he's sitting beside you or simply nearby, his gentle presence can bring peace and ease during a difficult time.

Biodegradable Urns

 

At Restful Reflections, our biodegradable urns are thoughtfully selected to provide a natural, earth-friendly way to honor your loved one’s journey. Made from sustainable materials such as paper, salt, sand, or natural plant fibers, each urn is designed to gently break down in water or soil, offering a quiet and respectful farewell.

These urns are ideal for both water-based ceremonies aboard our memorial charters and land-based scatterings. With soft, natural tones and elegant simplicity, they reflect the calm and care we bring to every farewell.

Available in a variety of styles, our biodegradable urns are suitable for people and beloved pets. Personalized engraving or symbolic designs are also available.

Let us help you create a beautiful and meaningful goodbye—one that honors both your loved one and the planet.

Food & Fellowship Aboard

  Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages aboard to make the experience as comfortable and personal as they'd like. If preferred, Restful Reflections also offers a selection of catering options to suit a variety of tastes and group sizes—from light refreshments to full-service meals. Let us know your preferences, and we’ll help create a setting that feels just right for your gathering.
