Full Body Burial at Sea Options

In Southern California, we offer a unique natural burial option - full body burial at sea. This beautiful alternative gives your loved one back to earth, wrapped in biodegradable sailcloth, 6 miles out on a yacht. It's much more affordable than traditional ground burial and provides a perfectly socially distanced outdoor ceremony. For those in Los Angeles and Orange County, this option offers a meaningful connection to our coastal environment. You can personalize the ceremony in countless ways - release butterflies or doves, bring musicians, play a special playlist, or include themed elements reflecting your loved one's passions. Some families bring favorite photos, create memory boards, or arrange for everyone to receive the departed's favorite beverage during the ceremony. This tradition has deep historical roots, practiced by civilizations from Ancient Egypt to the Vikings. British seafarers developed ritualized sea burials involving specialized shrouds and religious services performed by ship captains. For coastal California residents seeking a natural, meaningful alternative to traditional burial, full body burial at sea provides a beautiful option reflecting our connection to the Pacific.
