Your Choices:
SELF SERVICED ARRANGEMENTS
If you have no known relatives, survivors or persons
whom you can rely on to assist you in preparing your final days
on earth or before your human life expires, it is now time for
you to seriously have a person-to-person meeting with someone
professional from our staff to discuss your burial wishes and
the preparation one must make before your final journey to paradise
with the Lord. It is your desire alone to have these services
provided for you in Hawai'i. We will discuss each step with you
before you've made your financial arrangements with a crematorium
and after you had paid them what is due in full.
Only at that time we will
discuss your Hawaiian Sea Burial service as the cremation portion
of this service is strictly your own responsibility and after
that phase has been finalized, paid for in full and completed,
we'll do the rest for you regarding your sea burial as promised
and agreed here within with dignity and respect. The flat fee
for the "self service" sea burial is $1,500 each. Payment in full is suggested in advance.

'OHANA SEA BURIAL FAMILY PLAN
If a deceased family ('ohana) member - for example:
a deceased husband and wife, whose cremated ashes had been stowed
in a safe place for a significant time and you would like them
honored and ultimately put to rest and spend eternity together at the same time and day in
Hawaii's ocean waters off of Maui's west side area of either
Lahaina or Ka'anapali or beyond the reef of Waikiki's sandy shores
or among the blue tropic waters of Ala Moana's open seas departing
from Honolulu's Kewalo Basin, this is where the "celebration
of life" begins. It's your choice and we will present it
just the way they probably would've suggested in the 'OHANA SEA
BURIAL FAMILY PLAN.
They could virtually be joined
together for the last time in their final journey "home."
Their ashes will be lightly mixed, combined and kept together
in a rare traditional Hawaiian Koa wooden bowl in their last
ride out to sea and graciously spread out together at their final
resting place
at home in Hawaii. The beautiful hand carved
Koa bowl becomes an 'ohana keepsake for the family to have.
Their names, sea burial date
and island location can be engraved on the sacred bowl at a no-cost
option and done only and at your request. This special 'ohana
(family) sea burial celebration could comprise of any family
member that you suggest. You may reserve the 'OHANA SEA BURIAL
FAMILY PLAN at today's cost by freezing the current price with
a bank cashier's check deposit or payment in full, and wait until
the proper time arises, as prices unknowingly will increase during
the waiting period.
Today's cost to service a
boat carrying up to 20 persons using the 'OHANA SEA BURIAL FAMILY
PLAN with "two" cremains is: $4,500.

accommodate passage for up to eight persons for only $2,000. The deposit is $200. An
adjusted off-island service charge of $500 for Oahu (Waikiki)

Additional Terms and Conditions
THE "WIKI WIKI" PACKAGE
That Hawaiian word literally means to "hurry".
Therefore within 6 to 10 days we can provide a last minute sea
burial for up to 6 people at Lahaina (Maui) or "Kewalo Basin"
(Oahu) and do a wonderful 1 hour sail and service with all the
usual blessings as advertised, in a normal respected fashion

check or bank money order is received within "7" days
from the day of our confirmation by telephone. A $500 deposit is sufficient sent by Express Mail. All balances due in Hawaii are paid with either in cash or travelers checks.
The boats that we use on
both islands have two boarding procedures - wet or dry. At Waikiki
and Ka'anapali you will board your vessel at the beach - that's
wet. At Lahaina and Kewalo Basin your boat awaits you at the
pier - that's dry.
Additional Terms and Conditions
UNESCORTED SERVICES
Remember, if you are not financially or emotionally
suited to bring a loved one's ashes to Hawai'i for a sea burial,
an "unescorted" service can be facilitated. The same
applies to the "self-service" memorial. Simply send
the cremated ashes in a secured package to us on Maui for the
traditional Hawaiian sea burial, by way of UPS, FEDEX or any
courier that transports parcel packages to Hawai'i.
We guarantee that we'll provide
the same respectable and courteous service for the "unescorted"
ashes as if you or an entire family of mourners were present
for the actual sea burial. We will videotape or DVD film the
entire memorial service from the beginning until its completion
and have that video tape or DVD available to you, along with
A Hawaiian Sea Burial Certificate. The cost for the "self-service"
or "unescorted" sea burial service is priced at $1,500
each paid in full and in advance.
Additional Terms and Conditions
NOTE: For an abbreviated temporary period, between October
1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, we will virtually consider all reasonable
offers during these difficult economic times simply by your direct
telephone calls to our reservation office at: (808) 276-4690.
Please call during our normal business hours which is daily
between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Hawaiian Standard Time on any day. Do NOT email us. A telephone call will expedite answers.
Add Ons:
ADDITIONAL HEADCOUNT OF GUESTS
If the headcount
of your guests going out to sea for the sea burial service has
increased since your original count and it exceeds the amount
allowed in your original selected package call our office immediately
to inform us of the change so we can make the proper adjustments
and put your party on the proper vessel. You may pay the difference
owed on your sea burial day in Hawaii either in cash or travelers
checks. The additional amount due will vary on each island and
boarding port as it will be collected at that time.
THE DVD VIDEO PRODUCTION WITH A "LIVE"
FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRANSLATION
Can include a narration
by international speakers of various languages i.e. Spanish, French,
German, Japanese, and Portuguese who will translate "live"
while on board the respective language desired, which is simultaneously
spoken along with the original dialogue of the memorial service
as heard in basic English and Hawaiian ultimately sharing a traditional
Hawaiian Sea Burial experience with friends and loved ones in
their native language and nation overseas. It is your option at
an added expense of $195. At $350, we can create a wonderful DVD
memory of your picturesque Hawaiian Sea Burial experience, ultimately
to share with friends and loved ones at home. This procedure is
commonly known to start help the "healing" process.
An additional $250 will include a variety of "20"-35mm
magnificent photos or a digital CD of the same scenic shots.
FLOWER LEI(S) DROP SERVICE
If for any reason
someone is unable to travel to Hawai'i to participate in the
sea burial service, but would like to be included in the traditional
"flower lei drop" during the scattering portion of
the ashes, they may purchase any amount of leis through your
caregiver and we'll have their leis and names on board the boat
to represent them when everyone goes out to sea for the sea burial.
