We often have folks contact us through our website, but last month we got a request that was a bit out of the ordinary. A lady contacted us asking if we could provide a bugler to play Taps while her Father’s ash-es were scattered in Puget Sound from a Washington State ferry. Her Father had been a Marine and one of the “Chosen Few”. Chris Edwards, our Senior Vice, boarded the ferry and provided Taps. Interestingly, I was dining at Arnies on the deck when the Ferry stopped mid-channel and blew its horn 3 times. Everyone stopped eating thinking a disaster was unfolding until I told them it was ok, it was just a burial at sea.
