Famous People Buried at Sea
We would be happy to be of assistance during your time of need.
Being very near the ocean, we are able to offer very competitive
prices for small family groups wishing to scatter ashes for Burial
at Sea services.
 The
video, on the right, is a short video of an unattended
scattering.
Many times the family will attend, in which case the form of the ceremony
is determined by them.
We have three offerings for your selection;
- Attended Ash Scattering - participants
come out on the yacht to the scattering destination.
- Viewing from Shore - participants view from shore while the
ashes are being scattered.
- Unattended Ash Scattering - the ashes
will be scattered in your absence
For U.S. military veterans,
our scattering fee is reduced by $50 for attended ash scatterings.
To use the military discount, you must send a copy of the deceased's
discharge papers showing an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army,
Navy, Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard. Those who served in the U.S.
Merchant Marine during World War II are also eligible.
 An
increasing number of people are choosing cremation and burial at sea
(ash scattering) for a variety of reasons. Not only is it significantly
less expensive, rich in nautical background and preserves land
usage, but is a celebration of life - saying
goodbye in a peaceful beautiful setting. Currently approximately 46%
of people would choose to have their ashes scattered over water.
Our captains
are licensed
by the United States Coast Guard, we are commercially insured
and licensed by the state of California
as a "Cremated Remains Disposer"(license#751).
Our ash scattering ceremonies
may be performed at any location selected by the family, many are performed from locations
off the San Diego Coast such as Ocean Beach Pier, Crystal Pier or the
Cabrillo Monument on Point Loma. We perform the ash scattering approximately
one mile off the coast.
The exact GPS position of the ceremony as well as weather conditions are recorded. This information is then used to complete the memorial certificate which will be sent to the family.
Burial at sea is common if the deceased enjoyed the outdoors and the water. Perhaps they loved boating or some other aspect of the aquatic environment.
It is also possible to performs a burial
at sea with no remains. This can be done when it is not
possible to retrieve remains - in the case of a ship sinking or other
disaster where no body is found. A service can be performed as a
memorial or flowers placed in the water. Although not strictly a
burial at sea, it does provide the family and friends with a form
of closure to aid in the grieving process.
We can also perform ash scattering for a beloved
pet which has passed. Their loss is also very traumatic and must be
grieved. Please call us for additional information. |
