The sea does give up it's dead

In Canada, it's tough for a private citizen to get permission for burial at sea:

(have to scroll down about 1/2 way for the notes on burial at sea.)

We scattered my grandfather's ashes in the Great Salt Pond out on Block Island (RI)... In full view of the harbormaster, who saw what we were doing and politely looked away.

Can't imagine going through what this family has gone through, and my yet be going through.

However, from an old family album...

"Coleman-Wright told the Sun Sentinel that Sharon Lasky did consult with a company in North Carolina about the burial, and subcontractors in Florida ultimately handled it. "The burial would have been successful if Lasky's body hadn't floated back to the surface," she said."

Now there is a woman with a firm grasp of the obvious. LOL

Hi,

This was in the MSNBC article.

Coleman-Wright told the Sun Sentinel that Sharon Lasky did consult with a company in North Carolina about the burial, and subcontractors in Florida ultimately handled it. "The burial would have been successful if Lasky's body hadn't floated back to the surface," she said.

Maybe they should look here to get some gear to help with future contracts.
