Funerals at Sea in California

Funerals at Sea

For centuries, mankind has looked to the ocean as a symbol of change, mystery, hope, the uncontrollable, and, of course, life. Death is all of these, too. Death brings changes in our lives. It is mysterious. It is unpredictable and beyond our control. Yet death is also the affirmation of life.  What a more fitting way to celebrate the life and legacy of a loved one than to say goodbye in a beautiful and richly symbolic setting. For over two decades, Pacific Coast Ashes at Sea has helped families give their dearly departed a beautiful and peaceful resting place with our funerals at sea services. 

Beyond the symbolic and the spiritual associations, there are many reasons why you should consider funerals at sea. If the deceased enjoyed waters, loved the sea, or had nautical background or experience, a burial at sea is the best way to pay homage to him or her. It is relatively less expensive than a conventional funeral, too.

Customized Funerals at Sea Services

Funerals at sea can take many forms, including:

• Family-attended ash scattering
• Unattended ash scattering
• Burial at sea

Memorial services are customized to your specifications. The services can be arranged with the captain or clergy of your choice: we serve all faiths.

For families choosing to join the memorial voyage, Pacific Coast Ashes at Sea provides the vessel and crew from the point of departure of your choice.  A wide range of vintage and luxury vessels available for selection. Whether you have one guest or a hundred, there is a boat to accommodate your party. You can invite as many guests you wish.

A Meaningful and Memorable Memorial

Our professionals stand ready to assist you in planning this memorial and make it meaningful and memorable.  Our captains and crews are licensed and experienced to make sure that you have a safe and enjoyable voyage.
