| 3 | If we need to get a new burial permit ...
Tanabe Flying Services can e-mail, fax, or mail you form H-674 (Rev. 3-67).
Burial Permits that are issued in California will state where the cremated remains (ashes) are going to be interred. If you have them in your posession, the Burial Permit probably states that you will keep them at your residence. If so, we will need to make arrangements to get a new Burial Permit that says they are going to be scattered and where they will be scattered. We will be happy to get a new Burial Permit for you. If the cremation took place outside of California, we will need to get a Burial Permit issued.

After we have verified the paperwork is correct, we will make arrangements for the scattering. You will be notified by mail of the scheduled date. This is usually between one and three weeks after receipt. You will be invited to the airport to witness the take off for no additional charge. You will have the opportunity to say any final words or deliver any flower petals that you wish to have scattered along with the cremated remains (ashes).

You will be contacted by telephone to make arrangements for the scattering date. We recommend that you choose a time that is between mid-day and sunset. This allows us the best opportunity for clear skies.

If you would like any additional certificates please make arrangements prior to the scattering. Each additional certificate is $10. The certificate will come in a hard plastic covering for mailing purposes. It can be displayed in this plastic, or it can be removed and put into your own display.

We will send in all forms that the state of California and the US EPA require. For the deceased that had a death certificate issued in California and had the place of disposition changed on the Burial Permit, we will send you a form to sign that will allow you to change the stated place of disposition on the Death Certificate.
