Burial at Sea

Burial at Sea – A Meaningful Alternative

Burial at sea offers a peaceful and dignified option for families seeking something beyond traditional land burials. For many, this unique memorial creates a heartfelt connection with the calming presence of the ocean. Whether it’s a loved one’s final wish, a reflection of their maritime background, or simply a desire to return to nature, many individuals thoughtfully choose this meaningful form of remembrance.

Since 2008, we have proudly provided private burial at sea services, helping families celebrate lives with care, compassion, and dignity.

Why Choose Burial at Sea?

There are several reasons families prefer this option:

  • It reflects a loved one’s connection to the sea
  • It often honors military or nautical service
  • It supports land conservation
  • It creates a beautiful, peaceful memory
  • It is often more affordable than traditional burial

Moreover, a sea burial allows for a more intimate setting. Therefore, you and your family can gather privately, say goodbye with grace, and create lasting memories on the water.

Additionally, our charters depart from Shilshole Bay Marina. Please refer to our service map for the designated burial area.

Contact us to schedule your private burial at sea ceremony.

About Ash Scattering at Sea

In the past, families would pour ashes directly into the sea. However, even a gentle breeze could carry ashes away, sometimes creating an uncomfortable experience for those on board.

Today, there are better alternatives. For example, we highly recommend using a biodegradable urn, which naturally dissolves in water. As a result, the remains are released gracefully, offering a more serene farewell.

Furthermore, many urns are beautifully crafted from eco-friendly materials such as pressed paper or Himalayan rock salt. One of the most popular options is the Carpel Himalayan Rock Salt urn, though there are many other elegant and meaningful designs available online.

Plan with Confidence

We are here to guide you with care and clarity. From the moment you contact us until the last moment on the water, we work hard to make your loved one’s burial at sea as respectful and memorable as possible.

Whether you’re planning in advance or responding to a recent loss, we’re honored to support your family during this important time.
