Still basking in the memories of the beautiful morning I shared with Mike and his captain, Craig. Obviously a very tenuous moment, both Mike and Craig deftly made the experience so honorable and respectful. They were extremely thoughtful, and downright reverent, of my husband, of me and the situation. I am very honored to have met them and thrilled to have entrusted Waves of Remembrance with transitioning my husband on to his next adventure. I stumbled upon them by sheer coincidence, but truly it was the best, most serendipitous coincidence ever. I can’t think of a more ethereal, transcendent and profound way to honor your loved one’s life. Mike and Waves of Remembrance gently honor your nearest and dearest one’s life and wonderful memories. An experience to be cherished forever. To say that I’m thrilled to have stumbled upon them is a drastic understatement. I hold them both, along with the beautiful memories of the morning, in my heart forever with profound gratitude.

I have been able to experience a few ocean loved one ash ceremonies, but I have to say the experience that we had with Waves of Remembrance was one of the most special experiences of my life. Exceeded all our expectations and a soulful experience was had by the entire family. Thank you for letting us say goodbye to our loved ones in such a special way.

What an incredible service. Mike is the best. He thought of everything. I cannot recommend this service more. Casting my mother and uncle's ashes two miles out at sea was a wonderful way to memorialize their lives after over 65 years living in Jupiter.

One of the best things I’ve ever done. Committing a loved one to the deep blue Gulfstream makes the entire Atlantic Ocean a Spiritual place to connect.

Was a great experience, every care and consideration was taken for my 88 yr grandmother, the service is well worth the money and in the event I ever need that service I would not recommend any other outfit. Mike was great the entire party enjoyed the ride 10out of 10

During trying times there are people who come into your path to help carry your load. Mike and his team are examples of that. We found then through a recommendation at the funeral home and after reading about their services, selected them for the ocean ceremony. Mike called me shortly after to ask about our needs and explaining the process. He followed up a few days before the ceremony to confirm the weather and our schedule. My mom is partially disabled and they were able to accommodate her needs to step down into the boat and after. The boat was extremely well kept , clean, spacious and smooth ride. The actual ceremony was peaceful but powerfully emotional. We were able to say our farewell the way we had hoped. I would recommend them without hesitation for the kind of people who are truly caring, professional and understanding.

On one of our hardest days, Mike made it very special. We were able to give a final send off to our loved one. We recommend Waves of Remembrance. The whole crew was nice.

Mike and Trey went above and beyond to help make my elderly friend’s final wishes come true. Living in Pennsylvania and trying to navigate having her ashes spread in Jupiter Florida could have been a daunting task. From the initial contact to the videos received, it could not have been more calming to me to know, she was well taken care of. Her final journey to have her ashes spread in the blue waters of Jupiter was beautifully done. Their thoughtfulness in picking up her ashes at the hotel to spreading flowers on the ocean was more than I could have asked for. I know my friend is at peace. I would highly recommend Waves of Remembrance to anyone who is looking to have their loved ones ashes spread in the ocean off the coast of Florida.

What truly stands out about Waves of Remembrance is the character of the people behind it. They don’t treat this as just a service; they are clearly driven by a meaningful mission to provide dignity and peace for the grieving family. Mike approaches every interaction with profound compassion and a sharp attention to detail that sets them apart. Seeing how much pride and respect they take in maintaining their vessel and supporting families makes it easy to highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and honorable team.

I’ve had the opportunity to see the care and professionalism that goes into Waves of Remembrance from the inside. The boat is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and provides a beautiful setting for families honoring a loved one. It’s clear that every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a respectful and meaningful experience. I would feel completely confident recommending Waves of Remembrance to any family looking for an ocean memorial service.
