A Burial at Sea is a way of having a memorial and scattering the ashes of a loved one at sea. This honored tradition has been a celebrated memorial practice since our earliest human history. The scattering of ashes at sea is often related to the celebration of the circle of life; whether it be as a ritual or commitment to ones life purpose, passion, or to grant a loved ones last wish to be remembered at sea.
A burial at sea memorial ceremony also celebrates the recognition that a loved ones energy may always be near those who have lost a loved one and those that will someday join in the final resting place of one’s wishes.
We offer attended or unattended year round memorial cruises for traditional ash scatterings eco-friendly sea burials per USCG regulations, presided over by the captain, your clergy or representatives of your choosing (We do NOT provide full body burials). Serving all faiths with personalized services.
