The experience of scattering ashes with Captain Stu could not have been more perfect. His thoughtfulness and caring showed through the whole process. Communication was excellent. At the end, he gave us a nice certificate with coordinates. It ended up being more meaningful and comforting than we could have imagined. We are so pleased to have found Captain Stu.

We recently had the privilege of working with Captain Stu for a sea ash-scattering ceremony, and it was truly a memorable experience that we will never forget. Captain Stu went above and beyond to make this day as comforting and special as possible. He was incredibly accommodating and personable, which brought a sense of peace to the occasion.He provided us with roses to throw into the sea, which added a beautiful and symbolic touch. Captain Stu played music that held personal meaning to us, creating a serene atmosphere, and read a beautiful poem that resonated deeply with everyone present. His thoughtfulness and attention to detail made all the difference, allowing us to honor our loved one in a way that felt genuinely personal and heartfelt. Thank you, Captain Stu, for creating such a lasting memory for our family.

Last weekend, I scatter my mom's ashes and itwas memorable and special. Captain Stu was able to provide comfort and closure. He was great from booking it to giving a wonderful memorial for my mom. He read poems, played music, provided beautiful roses and placed our water urn into the ocean. My father wasn't thrilled about the idea of this trip but ended up enjoying the experience and talking to Captain Stu. We also received a memorial certificate in the mail with coordinates to where my mother's remains were scattered. I highly recommend Captain Stu for his services.

This is the second time I used Metamorphosis for the scattering of my love one's ashes. My brother and mother are together now. He is very kind and caring when delivering the scattering of ashes ceremony. He is professional and always keeps you posted of any changes in the boat ride. I recommend Capt. Stu.

We had the pleasure of booking with Captain Stu for my husband's birthday and enjoyed a sunset cruise. Everything was perfect! We can't wait to go out on the water again. If you're thinking about booking, do it, you won't regret it! Thank you Captain Stu for the beautiful memories and being a great Captain.
