The crew is called to order, and the skipper conducts the memorial service, sharing words in honor of your beloved companion. Following the reading, with crew as witness, the ashes are scattered with reverence into the sea. The ceremony concludes with the traditional ringing of the ship's bell eight times, marking the end of watch. This ceremony takes approximately 15 minutes.
