Personal handoff
You can give the family our information or introduce us directly. Randy and Karen handle the conversation personally.
Professional aviation
Randy is an ATP-rated professional pilot with more than 12,000 flight hours. Flight planning and execution are approached with professional aviation discipline.
Respectful completion
We keep the process clear and dignified and provide the family with confirmation after the dispersal is complete.
From the Pacific to a family ranch.
Some families simply want an unattended ocean scattering. Others want a specific California location tied to the person’s life — a coastline, ranch, farm, or other meaningful place.
We evaluate each request for legal, operational, weather, airspace, terrain, and permission considerations before confirming the service.
