What must a cremated remains disposer post if they are a captain or pilot performing scattering?

A cremated remains disposer who is a captain or pilot performing scattering is required to post a copy of a boating and/or pilot’s license. This requirement ensures that the individual is appropriately licensed and qualified to operate the vessel used in the scattering process. Holding a valid boating or pilot’s license demonstrates that the operator is knowledgeable about navigating waters safely and legally, which is critical when scattering remains from a vessel. This requirement serves public safety and regulatory purposes by confirming that the person is competent and authorized to carry out this significant act with due diligence.

The other options do not fulfill the legal and safety requirements for performing scattering. Posting the address of their home does not provide any pertinent information regarding the qualifications or authority to scatter cremated remains. An approval letter from the cemetery is not necessary for an individual operating a vessel as part of their professional duties as a captain or pilot. Lastly, while having insurance documents is important for other reasons, they do not specifically relate to the qualifications required for scattering remains legally and safely on the water.
