Burial At Sea (Ash Scattering)

Increasingly families are choosing cremation and burial at sea for their funeral selection. Burial At Sea (also known as scattering) of cremated remains has been the best option for interment for many families and loved ones. There are numerous reasons for selecting burial at sea or scattering of ashes at sea, including love of the sea, wishes of the deceased, nautical background or experiences, conservation of land space, environmentally friendly interment,

spiritual associations with the ocean and its life chain, affordability, and uniqueness. 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. The Pacific Ocean is stunning and surrounds all on it with beauty.

Our ash scattering ceremonies are performed from the Nerissa yacht which can accommodate up to a maximum of 49 passengers (excludes yacht crew but includes all guests and service personnel such as clergy, caterers, etc).

Note: You will need a form titled Application & Permit for Disposition of Human Remains. If you are currently working with a mortuary, they will be able to get this document for you. On this form, box 16a, should say “Scattering off the coast of San Diego County“.
