(and it probably is), give us the name
and contact information of your funeral

necessary arrangements. If you don't
have a funeral director or mortuary, or
if the death occurred some time ago,
contact us and we'll work out the

can mail them or hand deliver them to
us, whichever you prefer. If you mail
them, send them via the US Postal

arrange to meet you at either the
Jackson or Concord Airport. |

we'll proceed with the scattering per
your instructions. |

We'll notify you of the date and time
of the scattering, usually within 14
days of our receipt of the cremated
remains. You will be invited to the
airport to witness the takeoff (no
additional charge), or to say any final
words before the scattering. |

For Witnessed Scatterings, we
will contact you by telephone to work
out the date, time, and exact location
of the scattering so that you may view
it from the ground. |

After
the scattering, we will send you a
Verification Certificate that states the
date, time, and location (latitude and
longitude) of the scattering. Additional
