The biopod can be shipped to your home address, the funeral home, or crematorium, which ever is most convenient for you.

Place the cremated 'ashes' into the bag, then tuck the bag into the pod. The bag protects the cremains form any wind that might come up. After five about minutes on the ocean floor the bag will have disintegrated, releasing the cremains into the ocean.

If you might have an issue putting the cremains in the water soluble cremains bag, your funeral home or crematorium will do this for you.

Once the cremains are in the pod, slip the pod into the canvas tote bag. The tote carry bag with a shoulder strap makes it easy to transport the biopod to the harbor, then onto the boat.

* Don't forget the zip lock bag with the sisal rope, keepsake wristbands, and 'sharpie' marker.

Once on the boat ( or at an earlier time ) you can hand out the 10 keepsake wristbands and let the guests use the 'sharpie marker to sign or write good-bye notes on the pod.

The natural sisal rope comes in a 100' roll. Once on the boat, slip one end of the rope through one of the two openings and out the other. When you are ready to lower the pod into the ocean, hold both ends and slowly lower the pod over the boat side.

When you are almost at the rope ends, let go of ONE end while holding onto the other end and the pod will be released to the ocean floor. This is a nice symbolic way of 'letting go' of the deceased. Please take the rope with you as a memento and make sure it does not end up in the ocean.

The exact GPS location of the biopod placement can easily be provided by the captain so you will always have a reference point of just where the pod is resting. Should you like to have future family or friends resting at the same location you can provide these coordinates to any boat captain to find that exact spot for future placements. Ask the captain to find a sandy bottom for the placement.
