LOAMOKU Launches Nationwide Pet Ocean Scattering Service in Japan

LOAMOKU's Innovative Pet Ocean Scattering Service

In a heartfelt move to honor our beloved pets, LOAMOKU, a nonprofit organization based in Fukuoka, Japan, has recently launched its nationwide "Pet Ocean Scattering Service." This service offers an alternative way to memorialize pets, allowing families to return their loved ones to nature in a serene maritime setting. LOAMOKU aims to provide a compassionate and safe environment for pet families during their difficult times. With the increasing number of households welcoming pets as family members, many are seeking alternatives to traditional burial methods, making ocean scattering a noteworthy option.

Background of the Ocean Scattering Service

The rising trend of considering pets as family members highlights the necessity for more humane and respectful ways to say goodbye. LOAMOKU has recognized this sentiment and developed their ocean scattering service in response to families' needs for a more natural return for their pets. Focusing on environmental sustainability and emotional support, LOAMOKU has pioneered this unique service.

Key Features of the Service

1. Nationwide Coverage:
Our service is available to families across Japan, making it accessible from any region. Those interested can simply use the specialized shipping kit provided, enabling easy mailing of the pet's remains directly from their homes.

2. Compliance with Regulations:
LOAMOKU ensures that ocean scattering occurs in safe and calm waters, carefully selected to avoid swimming areas and fishing zones. This consideration guarantees a serene setting fitting for a farewell.

3. Memorial Movie Creation:
On the day of scattering, every step of the ceremony—including the reading of farewell letters, floral tributes, prayers, and the scattering process—will be captured on video. These touching moments will be skillfully edited into a memorial movie, serving as a cherished keepsake for grieving families.

4. Issuance of Scattering Certificates:
After the scattering is complete, a "Pet Ocean Scattering Certificate" will be mailed to families. This document details the date and location of the scattering, providing a lasting memory of their pet's journey.

5. No Restrictions on Pet Types:
Our service accommodates a variety of pets, not just dogs or cats. Small animals and birds can also be honored similarly, although specific guidelines may apply based on weight and size. Families are encouraged to consult LOAMOKU prior to the process.
