The very important decision an individual makes is where and how to be buried after we die<\/span>.\u00a0 You can make the<\/strong> required decisions before you pass or a loved one will need to make the decisions after you pass.<\/p>\n

Here in the coastal community of San Diego the ocean is part of our landscape and lives and is also a frequently requested participant in our funerals or deaths. For this reason burial at sea (full body or spreading of cremated ashes)<\/a> is an option we specialize in.<\/p>\n

Traditional cemetery burials are still commonly requested but have become less common over the last decade<\/span>. Part of this reason is due to space constraints in our cemeteries around the nation (and world) and cremation is considerably lower in cost than other traditional burial methods.<\/p>\n

In California cremation rates are the highest in the nation and it is predicted that as much as 60% of the entire US will opt for cremation<\/span> of their loved ones over the next 10-12 years.<\/p>\n

There are many logistical details, and legal issues that must be processed for a burial at sea, and we along with the San Diego Funeral Home – Funerals Your Way<\/a> is qualified, knowledgeable, and efficient in the requirements to facilitate a burial at sea request.<\/p>\n

There are so many decisions to be made at the time of a loved one\u2019s passing. From dotting \u201ci\u201ds and crossing \u201ct\u201ds the processes and paperwork while necessary can at times seem just too much.\u00a0 We have years of experience navigating through this<\/span> and is there to assist you, guide you, support and advise in any way possible, we are there for you during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

Spreading cremated ashes in the ocean or a full body burial at sea must follow both California state as well as\u00a0 EPA<\/span> guidelines.\u00a0 Flowers and wreaths made with biodegradable (decomposable) materials may legally accompany the deceased according to regulations.\u00a0 It is recommended that you use someone expereinced with both regulations and US Coast Guard vessel operation.<\/p>\n

Basic Information about the Cremation Process<\/h2>\n

Cremation is a process of incinerating human remains to ashes or \u201ccremains\u201d. The crematorium furnace reaches temperatures of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit and the process usually takes between 2-4 hours. The fine powder<\/span> and bone fragments once cooled are freed from any debris and weigh around 5 pounds. The crematorium further pulverizes these fragments into a consistent fine powder and releases them to the loved one in a cardboard or plastic container as a \u201ctemporary vessel\u201d.<\/p>\n
