Legacies
The Marine Society & Sea Cadets is a member of the Remember-A-Charity consortium, made up of over 140 charities large and small who have joined together to raise awareness about the importance of legacies to the charity sector. The consortium has the backing of legal and financial specialists including over 600 legal practices, the Association of Private Client Investment Managers and Stockbrokers, the Association of Independent Financial Advisers, The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, the Solicitors Pro-Bono Group, Withers LLP, HSBC and Barclays.
With the expertise of these organisations and the combined resources of Remember-A-Charity to call on, The MSSC is well placed to offer you the very best advice and guidance on a topic which is sometimes forgotten until it is too late. It is a sad fact that in an average year half the people who die, do so intestate i.e. without having made a will, leaving relatives with the unenviable task of unpicking assets with no clear idea of the person’s wishes and the Government taking the lion’s share of the estate. A gift to charity once family and friends have been catered for provides invaluable funding for the cause of your choice, enables their work to continue for future generations and achieves the most tax efficient means of ensuring that something you believe in continues to flourish.
“Go down to the sea in ships…*”
You don’t need to be an Admiral or a War Hero to qualify for a traditional naval burial service at sea.
If you loved the sea during your lifetime we can take you on a final voyage aboard our iconic square rigged flagship TS ROYALIST and scatter your ashes upon the waves in an authentic naval service conducted by a Sea Cadet Chaplain.
Following consignment to the deep your name will be recorded for posterity in the ship’s log and our Royalist Roll of Honour.
We can make all the arrangements with your loved ones to ensure that your lifelong association with the maritime world is commemorated in the most appropriate way – at sea.
When you leave a legacy to The Marine Society & Sea Cadets you qualify for this unique service.
*Psalms 107:23-30
