What to expect in Norwalk
Your captain meets your group at the dock, takes you to the scattering spot, and gives you time for words, music, flowers or silence. Afterward, the captain records the coordinates of the scattering so your family always knows where it took place. Biodegradable urns and flowers can be ordered from our memorial store and delivered before your service.
Scattering rules in Norwalk
Captain license
Not settled
None found for scattering services
Inside Norwalk waters
Not settled
Norwalk Harbor, Norwalk Islands, western Long Island Sound (inland waters)
Ocean
3+ nautical miles from land
Federal rule. Report to the EPA within 30 days.
No state rule allowing or banning scattering in the Sound was found. The nearest ocean waters 3 nm offshore are about 100+ miles east, so all practical Norwalk trips stay in the Sound, outside EPA permit coverage. Check Norwalk Harbor Management Commission rules, and avoid Sheffield Island and the Norwalk Islands units of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, where USFWS permits apply.
