The CaptainFunerals at Sea of San Diego Bay is able to manage your burial at sea services even if you’re not located in San Diego. Of course, we invite you and your loved ones to attend your memorial services, but we are also able to conduct unattended ash scattering and burials at sea if you are outside the San Diego area.
A burial at sea is a remarkable way for those with a strong affinity for the ocean to be laid to rest. It allows them to experience the same sense of calm and serenity that being close to the water brought them in life. For people who served in the military, it's an opportunity to complete their tour of duty by merging with the vast expanse of ocean they worked so hard to protect. Ultimately, sea burials are a unique tribute that is meaningful for many.
Aboard a private yacht, you can bid farewell as your loved one's remains drift over the gentle waves of the Pacific Ocean. With miles of picturesque coastline and deep waters just outside the San Diego harbor, this stunning location offers an unparalleled views. Not only is it an incredibly meaningful tradition, but it also helps to conserve the limited resources of land-based cemeteries, leaving a more lasting impact on our environment.
With due reverence for all, a San Diego burial at sea allows individuals to pay respects in a dignified and unforgettable way that honors both, the deceased and their legacy. Our captains and crew at Funerals at Sea provide a personal experience for each individual family, whether you want to participate in the actual scattering of ashes or have your loved one set to rest in a biodegradable urn.
Spreading the ashes, or the full body burial, of a loved one in the ocean can be an incredibly powerful, spiritual experience. It provides closure in ways that other methods of memorialization may not, allowing family members to witness the transition from a physical body to the vastness and beauty of nature around them.
Making a lasting memory to honor and remember a loved one can be easier and more cost effective than you think. A burial at sea is an excellent choice when it comes to celebrating the life of a departed relative or friend. Granting one's last wishes can be costly and intimidating, but this is one way to honor their legacy without having to stress.
Stepping foot onto a luxurious yacht, your family will have the opportunity to share special stories, laugh together, and bond in a unique way as you watch the beloved being laid to rest peacefully. This experience is much more private, which can provide an extra layer of intimacy for your grieving process.
Whether you’re choosing scattering ashes at sea in San Diego, a full body burial at sea, or a celebration of life, we have a network of United States Coast Guard certified and inspected charter yachts that can accommodate your loved ones’ final wishes. We accept cremains from anywhere in the U.S. to honor your loved ones' request to have their ashes scattered off the Coast of San Diego.
When making funeral arrangements for your ash scattering in San Diego, full body burial, or Celebration of Life service through Funerals at Sea, you will work directly with our captain and his professional staff for all your service needs. This is an especially difficult time. Emotions are elevated and some people need a compassionate ear to hear their needs. Captain John Valente is our Lead Captain at Funerals at Sea and oversees all the operations to assure our families are taken care of.
